Rain of the Moon: Silver in Ancient Peru (Metropolitan Museum of Art) Book

A symbol of power and prestige in ancient Peru, silver also held religious significance, its soft cool sheen symbolizing the moon, a female deity. This beautiful book presents objects of silver?items of personal adornment, tomb offerings, and miniatures?from several Peruvian cultures that thrived along the coastal and highland regions of the Andes from the first millennium B.C. to the Spanish conquest of 1532-34.
