The article offers information regarding the pre-Columbian gold artifacts. It discusses how the Aztecs of Central Mexico made use of gold and how the conquistadors plundered them. It presents details on an exhibit entitled "The Gold of Ancient America," which features pieces of artifacts from excavations and drawn from private and public collections. Furthermore, it notes how the golden artifacts are created, particularly the Columbia's Quimbaya Indians' lost-wax technique of casting.
