Summary
Compiled in the 1830s and 1840s by the Peruvian museum curator Mariano Eduardo de Ribero or Rivera (1798-1857) and the Swiss naturalist Johann Jakob von Tschudi (1818-1889), the work is a comprehensive survey of all the relics, ruins, bones, artifacts and artworks of pre-Columbian Peru recorded at the time. Of note, figure 1 of plate 33 depicts a basalt club called a patu onewa, made by the Maori in New Zealand, found in an Inca grave, and published in a book in 1851.
