Produktbeschreibung
This paper analyzes the missionary imagery remaining in the municipality of Santa Bárbara do Sul, RS, Brazil, in the areas of history, aesthetics and heritage. These sculptural representations and their trajectories allude to historical processes that make up the dynamics of the dispersion of the remnants of material culture from the Eastern Missions of Uruguay - known as the Seven Peoples.
