Description:

TAINO art is the last unexplored pre Columbian aesthetic produced for magico-religious events. The sculptures represented anthropic gods and animal deities. So precious were these pieces that they were passed from one generation to the next until Spanish iconoclasts forced the TAINO to hide them. The beautiful reliquary represented in TAINO sculptures reveal the cultural and spiritual legacy of this forgotten culture.
