It seems that the pottery art had its origin on the
idea conceived by a inhabitant, to cover his basket
with clay, to warm it up, besides the fire. Little by
little, in this industries evolution the esthetic and
adornments have developed.
Orfebreria was the metal work. The silver was the main
material used in the zone.
The objects could have had different functions. One
of them was the ritual function in which the objects
were used in the religious ceremonies. The other was
the esthetic function, constituted mainly by jewels.
Between the existing pieces, worked tediously, there
are ring or surtijas that were used by both sexes ;
pins or topus ; bracelets or pulsira that were used
sometimes special, and hoops or sarcillu.
The jewelry had a symbol of status and were used by
people to fancy themselves and look better.
