The emphasis of this painting is on gold jewelries and gilded items. The Spanish conquistadores, in search of gold, were awed by the opulence of the archipelago's society. From the rajah down to his constituents - they flaunted their heirlooms as if "gold is everywhere." Gold together with tattoo was the order of fashion.
