Paperback. Condición: Good. To the developed world, the destruction of the Amazon rainforest has become an issue of vital concern. The ever-diminishing indigenous tribes inhabiting this vast region of beauty are equally threatened. Yet while the Western passion for folk art continues to thrive, the extraordinary creations of the peoples of the Amazon have until now received little attention. This book is their definitive documentation. A variety of objects both ceremonial and utilitarian are illustrated in over 150 specially commissioned photographs - exotic headresses, feather dance costumes, anteater masks, body ornaments of all kinds, ceramics, basketry and weapons - while the text defines the anthropological significance of each artifact. The objects embody a wealth of natural materials, from iridescent beetle wings and plumage, to animal teeth and woods - surviving expressions of a fragile environment. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.

Original brochure. Condición: Gut. 128 p., with 192 ill., 148 in color. An impeccable copy. - The destruction of the Amazon rainforest has become an issue of vital concern throughout the world. Yet until now the extraordinary arts and crafts produced in the area have received little attention. This book is their definitive documentation. An astonishing array of objects both ceremonial and utilitarian are illustrated in over <190 specially commissioned photographs - resplendent feather headdresses, exotic bark cloth dance costumes, wild animal effigy and spirit body masks, beautifully painted tunics, extraordinary fire ant ritual shields, striking body ornaments of all kinds, ceramic sculptures, fine basketry and weapons - while a highly informed text defines the fascinating anthropological significance of each artifact. The objects embody a wealth of natural materials, from iridescent beetle wings and spectacular plumage to shiny animal teeth and rich woods - surviving expressions of a unique and fragile environment. Here at last the cultural richness of the Amazon receives not only the sympathetic understanding it deserves, but also the aesthetic appreciation that is so long overdue. - Contents: Preface (Adam Mekler) -- The Amazon Today (Barbara Braun) -- Arts of the Amazon (Peter G.
