The fruit of her interest in native cultures, in this luxury edition Claudia Caraballo de Quentin presents a broad panorama of the artistic expressions of the indigenous peoples who lived in the pampas and Patagonian regions of our country. Silverware, women’s clothing, articles for household use and textiles –ponchos in particular – have been subjected to analysis and technical study for the first time. There is also a chapter on the English poncho, an unusual product of the Industrial Revolution that reached our region.
