A top list of indigenous native art of South America is provided here. Please browse the list and find the most desirable tribal art objects. Inca art is a hundreds of years old tradition started by the craftsmen of the Andes. They were skillful architects and artisans who knew how to get the best out of gold, silver, bronze and copper. Statues and handicraft were also very popular. Unfortunately, many wonderful objects were destroyed by Christians during the Dark Ages. Still many native art pearls exist and there are armies of collectors hunting for the next big thing. Inca art as their civilization is not very old. They started out as a middle-size tribe around 1200 C.E. and expanded very quickly amassing great knowledge and huge wealth. During the next couple of centuries they absorbed other native people of South America - including Puruha - the civilization that was native to Riobamba.
Be careful when you buy native art from online auctions. Please read several books on the topic before you embark on collecting tribal art. There are many fakes around and you need to be an expert on the subject to make sure you buy only the best quality pieces.
