Bolivian Silver Crown - Ex Historia
Item Details
Description
South America, Bolivia, ca. 20th century CE. An exceptional sterling silver Spanish Colonial style crown, hand made by the Andean silversmiths in Bolivia from high content .925 silver, 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: 3.875" W x 3.75" H (9.8 cm x 9.5 cm); Weight: 90.7 grams
