Description
Item Description:Gold, no-one has used it more lavishly or with greater splendour that the people of South America. There it was sacred and so abundant that they called it the 'sweat of the sun.' To the Spaniards who conquered the empires of the Aztecs and the Incas it was a perpetual lure and for centuries they pursued the legend of El Dorado, the fabulous golden man. This programme explores the Pre-Columbian indian civilizations of South America in which native craftsmen fashion gold into unique forms of expression.
