Η Προκολομβιανή τέχνη στο Μουσείο Μπενάκη. Συλλογή Γεωργίου Κ. Γόντικα / Pre-Columbian art at the Benaki Museum. The George C. Gondicas Collection

The catalogue accompanies the Collection of the same name, which was donated to the Benaki Museum, where it was displayed in the summer of 2009. The Collection, the only one in Greece with artefacts from Meso and South America, presents objects from Ecuador, Peru, Costa Rica and Mexico of the pre-Columbian era (153 artefacts and 2,355 spindle whorls). The publication, apart from representative photographs of the varied material, includes an extensive introduction to the cultures of these regions and a rich scientific annotation of the exhibits.
