"Rain of the Moon: Silver in Ancient Peru"
2000-11-03 until 2001-04-11
Metropolitan Museum of Art
New York, NY,
USA
Ancient Peruvian silver—one of the three metals
extensively worked in Peru from about 500 B.C.
onwards, and rarer at the time than gold—will be the
focus of this unprecedented exhibition, which brings
together for the first time well-preserved silver
objects from public and private collections in the
United States. Spanning a period of about 1500
years, from the early part of the first millennium
until the 16th century, the works will include large
decorated disks, miniature models of a garden scene
and funeral procession, personal ornaments, and an
important group of silver vessels in the shape of
human and animal figures from the Metropolitan's
own collection.
The exhibition is made possible by The Andrew W.
Mellon Foundation. The exhibition catalogue is made
possible in part by the Roswell L. Gilpatric Fund for
Publications. The exhibition was initiated with the
collaboration of the Americas Society, New York.
