Showcasing a host of previously unpublished objects dating from the Precolumbian era to the twentieth century, the book marks the first time these holdings have been comprehensively documented. Richard Townsend and Elizabeth Pope weave an overarching narrative that ranges from the midwestern United States to the Yucatán Peninsula to the heart of South America. While exploring artists' myriad economic, historical, linguistic, and social backgrounds, the authors demonstrate that they shared both a deep, underlying cosmological view and the desire to secure their communities' prosperity by affirming connections to the sacred forces of the natural world. The critical essays focus on topics that bridge traditions across North, Central, and South America, including materials, methods of manufacture, the diversity of stylistic features, and the iconography and functions of various objects. Gorgeously illustrated in color with more than five hundred vibrant images, this handsome catalogue serves as the definitive survey of an unparalleled collection"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 704.0397 Ar Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 704.0397 Art Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 704.0397 Ar Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 704.0397 Ar Checked In Add Copy to MyList
