About This Item
2010. 256pp with 180 colour and 20 monochrome illustrations. Cloth 27.9x22.9cms. ISBN: 9780300166767. Best known for the colossal stone portrait heads of their rulers, which were first discovered in 1862, the pre-Colombian civilization of the Olmec flourished between 1400 and 400 BC. Bringing together recent scholarship and over 100 sculptures, masks, vessels and so on, many seen outside Mexico for the first time, this exhibition paints a distinct picture of the Olmec, its geographical spread and emerging culture.
