Book Synopsis To Capture the Sun by : Richard G. Cooke
Book excerpt: Written to accompany an upcoming exhibition, To Capture the Sun: Gold of Ancient Panama explores the Gilcrease Museum's collection of Pre-Columbian gold for the first time since its acquisition in the 1940s. More than a beautifully illustrated exhibit catalogue, this volume includes essays by leading scholars who use the Gilcrease collection to discuss the rise of metallurgy in the Western Hemisphere, the symbolic significance of gold in Gran Coclé culture, and the influence of Pre-Columbian gold on world economies.
