For the Caciques’ necklaces, the Tainos used stone, shells and exquisitely carved dog teeth, making objects of great beauty and sophistication. Some of them have more than two hundred pieces.

About

VICINI, through the publication of "Jewels of Taino Art" who performed in December 2011, brings several private and public collections in the Dominican Republic of the outstanding pieces of the Taino culture.

These pieces of art, which in the past were artifacts of daily use of the Tainos, are now a subject of careful study at world level, which has elucidated through the features and uses of the same part of the customs and beliefs of this town.

As part of its commitment to the development of the Dominican Republic, VICINI promotes art and pre-Columbian Taino culture and part of the origins of Hispaniola and the Dominican Republic and Haiti.

This collection of photographs, based on the book 'Jewels of Taino Art' VICINI is done with the purpose of carrying images of this publication available to those skilled in the art and those who want to know more about the Taino people.
