The Goldsmith's Art in Ancient Mexico is a comprehensive study of the goldsmithing traditions of ancient Mexico, written by Marshall Howard Saville and published in 1920. The book explores the techniques, styles, and symbolism of goldsmithing in pre-Columbian Mexico, with a focus on the Aztec, Mixtec, and Maya civilizations. Saville draws on a wide range of archaeological evidence, including excavated artifacts, pictorial representations, and written accounts, to provide a detailed account of the goldsmith's art in ancient Mexico. The book covers topics such as the materials used in goldsmithing, the tools and techniques employed, the role of gold and other precious metals in ancient Mexican society, and the religious and symbolic significance of goldsmithing. Lavishly illustrated with photographs and drawings, The Goldsmith's Art in Ancient Mexico is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of art, archaeology, or Mexican culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
