Color pictorial dust jacket; black spine with white lettering. 304 pp. 457 plates, 414 in color. Reprinted from 1984 original. "First fascinated by its pure beauty, Angela Fisher has examined African adornment for over seven years, initially as a traveler and then increasingly as a close student of jewelry and body decoration. Traveling from the Sahara to Cape Horn, she has lived among peoples of diverse culture, studying and photographing not only what they wear but what meaning the objects and decorative forms have in their daily lives." -- dj flap Includes bibliographical references (pages 300-301) and index.
