Necklace Caquetío
2017The necklace is black and hand painted with gold colored paint in different patterns and motives. Black is the hair color of both the Caquetio as that of the slave. The gold refers to the fact that 20% of the 16th -century gold in Europe was from the Caribbean islands. The shape of this chain refers to the 17th century transatlantic triangular trade between Europe, America and Africa. The Dutch slave trade took place mainly from the Dutch conquest in 1637 of the Elmina fort on the coast of present day Ghana and lasted until the year 1808. Each necklace is uniquely handpainted, signed and is an exclusive one of a kind.
