Tossup

The Met owns a labret (“LAY-bret”) made mostly of this material shaped like a serpent with a movable tongue. The prefix “mono-” (10[1])was added to the name of this material by Yves Klein to title his series of panels that use this material, and he threw some of this material into the Seine as part of one (10[1])work. (-5[1])Zoomorphic sculptures called (10[1])tunjos (-5[1])(“TOON-hose”) were made of either this material or tumbaga, which (10[1])consists partly of this material. A votive raft made mostly of this material discovered in Pasca may refer to a ceremony in which objects made of this material (10[2])were thrown (10[1])into a lake; (10[4])that raft is owned (10[1])by a museum (10[1])named for this material in Bogotá. (10[3])This material was used to sculpt figures of (10[1])Tellus and Neptune, who lean away from each other, on the Cellini Salt Cellar. For 10 points, (10[1])Muisca metalwork using what material may have inspired the legend of El Dorado? ■END■ (10[3])
