About This Antiquarian Book

This Antiquarian LONG OUT OF PRINT auction catalogue lists and describes 357 Lots, MOST of which appear to be illustrated, of an incredible selection of Pre-Columbian, African, and a couple Pacific Island Cultural Artifacts ! Included are -- vessels (pots, bowls, poison bottles, storage containers, etc., many figural / zoomorphic), jade plaques, stools, headrests, ritual and ancestral figures, flutes, masks, GOLD and other body adornments, erotica, among OTHERS! Countries of origin / cultures include -- those in the header and -- Nayarit, Jalisco, Teotihuacan, Vera Cruz, Casas Grande, Cocli, Nazca, Inca, Dan, LegaKuba, New Guinea, American Indian, 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 -- thus the abundace of sample pics which is very unusual for my other item descriptions, as exceptional as they might be! I just go bonkers when I see this kind of thing, and want to share my enthusiasm with my fellow eBay peeps. You have no idea how long it takes me to do a single new item description! 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 database of these highly artistic and creative indigenous items, I can assure you that 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
