Central Andes ; Northern Andes and Central America ; Mesoamerica and the American Southwest."Golden Kingdoms provides a sweeping overview of the luxury arts in ancient America from the second millennium BC to the Spanish Conquest in the sixteenth century. Wrought with extraordinary skill from gold, silver, jade, turquoise, shell, textile, and feathers, the spectacular imagery created by court artists played a central role in the royal regalia and sacred rituals that validated imperial power in Pre-Columbian kingdoms from the Andes in the south to Mexico in the north. Reserved for the religious and political elites of the Olmec, Maya, Chimú, Moche, Aztecs, and other peoples, many of these objects were traded over hundreds of miles and cherished for centuries as heirlooms, often ending up as dedications in temples and sacred natural wells (cenotes), or as burial goods for the afterlife. Based on the latest archaeological excavations and scholarship, this study provides a radical reinterpretation of this fascinating material that reflects the value system of the indigenous cultures themselves. Many of the objects have never before left their countries of origin." -From back cover of jacket."This publication is issued on the occasion of the exhibition Golden Kingdoms: Luxury and Legacy in the Ancient Americas, on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center, Los Angeles, from September 16, 2017, through January 28, 2018, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, from February 26 to May 28, 2018"--Title page verso.- Subjects: Exhibition catalogs.; Photobooks.; J.

- El eco de las sombras / by Valero, Jesús,1968-author.;
La misteriosa reliquia que la restauradora de arte Marta Arbide entregó al Vaticano ha sido robada. Cuando recibe la noticia de que debe ser ella quien encabece la investigación para recuperarla, siente que la aventura y el misterio que la pusieron al límite en La luz invisible no han hecho más que comenzar. Y así es: el mismo día que Marta llega a Roma para comenzar sus pesquisas, el Papa es asesinado. Este será el arranque una frenética sucesión de intrigas y peligros que parecen estar relacionados con una enigmática orden, la Hermandad Blanca, fundada en tiempos de Inocencio III. De este modo, el lector volverá a viajar al siglo XIII de la mano de Jean de la Croix y el caballero negro, que en esta ocasión tendrán que batallar contra un poderoso enemigo que lucha por hacerse con la reliquia. Tras el éxito de La luz invisible, Jesús Valero vuelve a llevarnos por oscuros caminos, siniestros monasterios y antiguos castillos, a través de una fascinante trama desarrollada en tres tiempos -el siglo VIII, el siglo XIII y la actualidad-, siempre tras la pista de la extraña reliquia que todos codician.- Subjects: Fiction.; Catholic Church; Art restorers; Assassination; Relics; Theft;
