    Description

    Pectoral ornament named "Sekil" with white beads (mostacillas) and metal worn by Mapuche Women
    Hanging jewel in which the luminosity and color takes great prominence. Held between two metal plates, an interwoven mesh of white beads (
    mostacillas)
    stands out with a central motif in red representing a stylized female human figure. This network of beads gives luminosity and color, revealing the harmony in the use of glass beads in combination with metal, an ancient technique that from the earliest times the Mapuche silversmith made after obtaining Venetian beads brought by the Spaniards.
    This is a superb piece of consistent material, which highlights its
    impeccable handmade manufacturing.
