Delta Mapuche
The Mapuche people were the first inhabitants of half of the area today known as Chile and Argentina. Before the Spanish arrived in 1541, the Mapuche occupied a vast territory in the Southern Cone of the continent. The Mapuche nation now constitutes the third largest indigenous society in South America.

All versions in this collection offer in the body a solid sterling silver ring decorated with drawings from the flag. The cap offers a medal engraved with a picture of the Mapuche calendar portrayed in the flag as well as rings in resin in same colors as the flag.
