Title: Orinoko - Parima
Description: "In the fifties Edgardo Gonzalez Nino stayed among the Amazon Indians in the Upper Orinoco region and collected a vast assortment of Indian artifacts. The Fundacion Cisneros, dedicated to furthering Iberoamerican culture, purchased Nino's collection in 1988. While at the same time preserving the artifacts, it is engaged in enlarging the collection through new acquisitions, and in organizing public exhibitions. The Cisneros collection gathers more than 1400 objects and documents the results of nearly fifty years of consistent collecting activity."--Jacket.
