Description
Metallic splendor pervades the viceregal goldsmithing of New Spain and the Kingdom of Guatemala between the 16th and 18th centuries. The mastery of New Spanish and Central American silversmiths forged a visual language fusing European heritage with the imagination and resources of the New World. These sumptuary pieces, often destined for worship or courtly ostentation, reveal the material and symbolic richness of a society taking shape.
