Abstract
Colored glazes derived from vegetable and animal sources and applied over silver leaf have been used in many eras and regions of the world to adorn sculpture and decorative art objects. Examples from Latin America during the Viceregal period are examined and compared, with reference to literature sources and to FTIR analysis. Attention is drawn to the use of native American materials in some instances, such as the varnish of Pasto, Colombia, and the lacquer of Pátzcuaro, Mexico.
