The article focuses on the bust-length portrait in silver of the emperor, Carlos V, which is currently located at the Museo de la Santa Cruz in Toledo, Spain. This artwork, which was attributed to Leone Leoni, was created by the Toledan silversmith Majadas. The culminating moment of the attribution came with its publicity during an exhibition at the New York World's Fair of 1964-1964. The article also discusses the techniques used by this artisan, the way he employs symbolic content, and his knowledge and use of 16th and 17th century iconography.

The article analyzes the artistic endowment of the Collegiate Church and the series of gold and silver liturgical objects from Peru. Accordingly, the Collegiate Church of Pravia in Asturias, Spain was founded in 1715 by architect Fernando Ignacio Arango Quiepo following his stay in Charcas accompanied by his uncle Bishop Juan Quiepo de Llano of Charcas, Bolivia. However, the gold and silver were decorated with precious stones made in Peru dating from the first decade of the 18th century have survived in spite of the unfortunate disappearance of other stones.
