Here are a few examples of our pieces found by Luis Rosendo and Pepe Buendía in the sidewalk stands of indigenous silversmiths in the markets of Sucre, Chuquisaca, Bolivia, and Huancayo, Perú.

You will find traditional colonial and criollo designs as well as beautiful abstract filigree designs. The lively imaginations of the indigenous silversmiths have seen animal forms in them . You will enjoy asking your friends what they see.
