| Sumario: | Some thirty metal plaques, with exquisite designs, have been found in the North-West of Argentina
and in other regions of the Southern Andes (Chile, Bolivia), They are considered among the finest
expressions in copper of pre-Hispanic Andean metallurgy, and are assigned to the Aguada culture
(5th-12th centuries AD). On the basis of their iconography and distribution, this article develops an
alternative interpretation of these objects, assigning them to the period of Regional Development
(12th-15th centuries AD), and even Inka (15th-16th centuries AD). Among the repeated fifi gures in the
iconography of these plaques, I emphasis the fifi gure of a smiling personage, which can be glossed with
descriptions found in Colonial sources. |
