Santa Clara del Cobre: Hammered Copper of Mexico
墨西哥圣克拉拉德尔科布雷的锤打铜器
标签：墨西哥, 圣克拉拉, 铜锅, 非遗, 下凹
墨西哥米却肯州 Santa Clara del Cobre 的 Purépecha 匠人自前哥伦布时代起以单块铜锭下凹打锅：回收废铜回炉铸成 8–15 kg 圆锭，烧红至约 700 ℃ 反复锤打成碗，中途回火十余次，最后收边定形，"一块打成、不见焊缝"是当地评判底线。该社区工艺 2010 年获墨西哥国家艺术与科学奖，每年圣周举办全国铜器比赛；锤痕呈放射鱼鳞纹、锅体越打越薄是其识别特征。
In Santa Clara del Cobre, Michoacán, Purépecha smiths have sunk vessels from a single ingot since pre-Columbian times: scrap copper is remelted into an 8–15 kg billet, heated to about 700 °C and hammered into a bowl through a dozen re-heats, the rim trued last—"one piece, no weld" is the local standard of judgement. The community's work received Mexico's National Prize for Arts and Sciences in 2010, and its Holy Week copper fair still judges by radiating fish-scale hammer marks and ever-thinning walls.
