Antique Spanish Colonial Silver Crown
Item Details
Description
South America, Bolivia, ca. late 19th to early 20th century CE. A sweet and petite sterling silver Spanish Colonial crown, hand made by the Andean silversmiths in Bolivia from high content .925 silver (2.5 oz, 71 g), using the same techniques used since the Colonial era by the Andean silversmiths, meticulously hand hammered, expertly molded in repousse, and chased throughout. Descendants of the Inca culture, the Aymara speaking artists have devoted themselves to preserving this thousand year old tradition. This crown was most likely intended for a Spanish Colonial Santo figure. A wonderful example for any collection of Spanish Colonial devotional art! Size and Weight: 3-3/4"H x 3-1/4"at widest ; 2.5 oz, 71 g.

Provenance: Ex-Historia Antiques, James Caswell, Santa Monica, CA
