Note 299 — Chapter XLVI
Clements R. (Clements Robert) Markham translation
The chaquiras were very minute beads, which were so skilfully worked that the best silversmiths in Seville asked Garcilasso how they were made. He took some to Spain with him, where they were looked upon as great curiosities. G. de la Vega, i, lib. viii, cap. 5.
