Description
-
A group of Inca men work with gold in a space that is both forge and workshop. In the middle of the room is a large round kiln or furnace with a fire burning on top, in which several pots have been placed. A group of men stand around the kiln, blowing on the fire through hollow reeds. In the foreground two men hammer a sheet of gold, and beside them at a table two men use fine engraving and carving tools to ad detail to gold statuettes and ornaments. On the left there is a second, similar worktable. On a recessed shelf along the far wall of the building are several finished pieces, including a large plate, several vessels and a small statue. This image is identical to one found on page 27 (163) of Frankfurt, 1596.
