Description of the collection of gold ornaments from the "Huacas" or graves of some aboriginal races of the north western provinces of South America

Résumé

The very interesting collection of gold antiquities from the north-western provinces of South America formed by Lady Brassey is certainly one of the most representative in this country. It includes not only a large series of personal and religious ornaments, illustrating the perfection to wich the goldsmith's art was carried by the Indians, but contains also specimens of the various rarer implements, such as celts and chisels (all in the precious metal), which are not usually to be met with even in collections formed in the immediate vicinity of the graves themselves.
