The candid astonishment with which the Indians viewed the Spaniards, who were interested only in the bullion value of these precious objects, is revealed in a contemporary account of Montezuma's gifts to Cortes: "They picked up the gold and fingered it like monkeys . they hungered like pigs for that gold." In Sweat of the Sun and Tears of the Moon, Andre Emmerich has written the first comprehensive study of pre~Columbian gold and silver work, from the early hammered sheet~gold ornaments of the Chavin culture of Peru, ca. 800~500 B.C., to the intricate cast~gold jewelry of the Aztecs and Mixtecs. It is a story that could not have been written a generation ago, for most of the important archaeological discoveries have been made during the past three decades. Mr. Emmerich's very readable account brings together, for the first time, all that we have come to know up to the present time. More than 200 photographs constitute a pictorial survey, providing a unique opportunity to see how various styles developed and how certain motifs persisted, or were transformed, from one culture to another. A chapter on technology presents everything that is known about the mining and metallurgy of the different pre~Columbian cultures. Also included are a consideration of the possibilities of Asiatic influences, and a fascinating discussion of forgeries.
