About This Antiquarian Book

This Antiquarian LONG OUT OF PRINT auction catalogue lists and describes 446 Lots, MOST of which appear to be illustrated, of an incredible selection of Pre-Columbian, African, and Pacific Island Antiquities ! This reference has two different covers, found by turning the book over -- one side contains the African Art, and the other has the Pre-Columbian artifacts -- it's a neato way of doing things! Included are -- vessels (pots, bowls, storage containers, etc., many figural / zoomorphic), jade plaques, stools, headrests, ritual and ancestral figures, masks, GOLD and other body adornments, erotica -- made of : burnished / polychrome pottery / terracotta, shell, jade, volcanic rock, obsidian, gold, wood, fiber, iron, among OTHERS! Countries of origin / cultures include -- those in the header and -- Vera Cruz, Costa Rica, Sican, Nariño, Nazca, Chancay, Mochica, Kajara; Aka, Mende, Bobo, Ibo, Suku, Chokwe, Asmat, Hawaii, New Guinea, and MORE! WOWSERS! I have been interested in these cultural treasures, usually called primitive art, since I was a teenager, but have very infrequently run across a reference source as diversified and well-illustrated as this one is, with fabulous archaeological finds, cult items and ancestral artifacts from pre-Hispanic sites and the nations of the dark continent! Picasso founded Cubism as a form of modern art, based largely on the African sculptures and masks he had in his personal collection -- it reduces all of the details of a subject to its simplest form, basically that of lines and suggestive shapes. If you have already begun your own personal computer interactice relational database of these highly artistic and creative indigenous items, you will most certainly find MANY new ones to add to it in this reference, both in fine photos and descriptive details. Lavishly illustrated ! Antiquarian Book in EXCELLENT+ Condition!! Return to Books List
