La Mina: A Royal Moche Tomb focuses on La Mina, an extraordinarily
rich tomb that was looted on the north coast of Peru in 1987. The
ceramic and metal objects it contained were among the most
extraordinary ever produced in the Andean area, and it had the most
colorfully decorated pre-Columbian burial chamber ever found in the
Americas. The artifacts are now scattered throughout the world,
nearly all of them held in private collections. In this work Donnan
reveals how he was able to locate and document many of the tomb's
contents and determine how the tomb was constructed and
embellished. With more than two hundred color images of the
archaeological treasures unearthed at La Mina--remarkable works in
ceramic and metal that are among the greatest masterpieces of art
from the ancient world--students and scholars will welcome the
mystery of how careful archaeological sleuthing can piece together
valuable information to recover what seemed to be unrecoverable.
