Turquoise mosaics from Mexico

The nine turquoise mosaics from Mexico are among the most striking objects in the collections of the British Museum. They include masks, a shield, a knife, and a helmet, all originating from the Mixtec and Aztec civilizations first encountered by Europeans during the Spanish conquest in the early sixteenth century
