Synopsis

The second catalog of the Museum of Anthropology seeks to reflect multiple perspectives, showing the meanings that the pieces have had and continue to have for different human groups, individuals, and institutions. This publication presents the complete Arroyo Leyes collection of the MdA, composed of pieces from Arroyo Leyes, Argentina, and others from Alto Paraguay, Paraguay, which were associated and unified due to their stylistic similarity. The selection of this collection has been driven by the renewed relevance of the pieces almost a century after their discovery and by the growing interest among different people in learning more about the Arroyo Leyes pieces, especially among Afro-descendant communities, who consider them part of Afro-Argentine heritage.
