The Mixtec and the Aztec excelled in metalwork. Archaeologists believe metalsmithing moved from South America to Central America and into West Mexico. The Mixtec and the Tarascan favored copper, while the Aztec went for the gold. Needless to say, the conquistadores love gold and that is why there are few examples of this extrordinary craftsmanship.
