Impasto lacquer or barniz de Pasto was a highly prized technique in colonial South America, most notably Colombia. Barniz de Pasto displays a hybrid style of decoration that mixes the fluidity of indigenous and European motifs at the time period, and probably was influenced by the trade in Asian textiles through other Spanish colonies. The Victoria and Albert Museum holds one of the only pieces with the rare decoration in the United Kingdom (Accession no. W.5-2015) and another domed chest was sold Sotheby's, London, 4 December 2018, lot 105 (£27,500, including premium).
