The Mapuche Plattery is based in its religious beleifes. Each piece has a special meaning, that trascends with the ornamental and has a magical value, for example, the "Kaskavilla" was the magical instrument that was used by the Machi to keep away bad spirits and the "Silver belt" allowed the bonding with the gods. The material used was silver with melting techniques and laminated with cold or hot percussion.

Retrafe or silversmith was the name of the man that realized traditionally this duty.
Chilean coins were also used, being laminated by beats.
