Summary

Within the vast country of Argentina, there is an area unknown even to most Argentines, that of the highlands within Santiago del Estero. The Quichua-Santiagueno people have for centuries inhabited this landscape of sun-scorched earth. And for centuries they have been creating a wealth of objects--furnishings, rugs tools, and decorative arts. This book attempts to rescue these treasures from obscurity and to offer as inspiration their sophistication, beauty and ingenuity.
