The intricate wood altars inside Cusco's colonial churches are famed for their breathtaking, gilded gold finish. This luxurious effect, part of the *dorado* technique, required meticulous preparation. After applying the delicate gold leaf, the brilliant, lasting sheen was achieved through an ancient, painstaking process: the gold was carefully burnished and sealed directly onto the wood surface using a smooth, rounded piece of **agate stone**. This gave the structures their signature mirror-like luster, a reflection of divine radiance.
