Popis: N 1932 AND 1933 The Metropolitan Museum of Art acquired three pieces of liturgical silver mistakenly thought to have been made in Spain. One of them, a gilded seventeenth-century silver monstrance (see Figure 11), bequeathed to the Museum by Michael Friedsam as a Spanish object, was eventually reassigned to colonial Mexico.2 However, research for the Museum's 1990 Mexican exhibition cast doubt on this classification, and the monstrance was then tentatively reattributed to Peru, a change subsequently confirmed by Cristina Esteras, who presents her evidence in the preceding essay. My discussion is intended to illuminate the context in which her information is best understood
