About This Item
New York, NY: Hudson Hills Press, 1996 Hudson Hills Press, New York. 1996. Softcover/Trade Wraps. Stated First Edition. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Fine. No DJ. Pictorial card stock wraps. Wraps are not bent or folded; spine is not creased or split; text is secure in binding. 119 pp 4to. 124 color plates plus 39 B&W illustrations. The Native American people we refer to as Mimbres flourished in southern NM some one thousand years ago. They are remembered today for the images they painted inside shallow bowls and eventually buried with their dead. The designs are sophisticated and depict common activities such as animals, birds, insects, and people. This book covers every aspect of this wondrous legacy: its intellectual and ideological history: its technology, form, and original functions: a formal and iconographic analysis of imagery: and a chronology of Mimbres cultural history. A clean very presentable copy.
