Synopsis

. 1992, bright clean copy, with dustjacket, no markings, Professional booksellers since 1981

Reviews

This remarkable book contains excellent color photographs, commissioned especially for the work, and text covering a topic about which very little has been written in English. The artefactos (artifacts) of the title are folk objects created by the Colombian people for household use and for sale. Each chapter examines a particular medium--for example, metal, clay, stone, weaving--in a chronological account that moves from pre-Columbian times to the present. The photographs depict many of the best examples of jewelry, cloth, and so forth, as well as artisans at work. Highly recommended for public library and academic art collections.
