This mixture consisted of whatever the Tairona could find in the streams, etc. to make their pieces. This mixture was commonly gold and copper and sometimes silver or other metals. The content of gold varies greatly in these pieces. The Tairona mixed gold with copper which gave the mixed metal a lower melting point and thus easier to cast using the lost wax casting method. When the cast figure cooled, the Tairona reheated the outside of the figure and removed the copper from the surface, leaving a golden hue from the gold in the mixture. This piece is from the Santa Marta Sierre Nevada mountains of Columbia and is of unknown age.
