How the Copper is Made
| Return to Aztec Empire Copper Page |
|
| This Copper comes from Santa Clara del
Cobre in Mexico and is made by hand. The Craftsmen start with raw copper
blocks then pound and shape them into the pieces you see here. While
machines are used for polishing, the bulk of the work is still done by
hand as it was done in the olden days.
