About this title

Synopsis

Describes and illustrates examples of the arts produced by Indians of the Amazon rain forest, including both ceremonial and utilitarian objects ranging from feather headdresses and body ornaments to ceramic sculptures and fine basketry

Reviews

The plight of the rain forests of the Amazon basin is well known, yet the people who live there, and their decorative arts, are relatively anonymous. Arts of the Amazon, edited by art historian Barbara Braun with text by anthropologist Peter G. Roe, addresses this gap with a collection of 192 illustrations, most in color, displaying fine basketry, masks, ceramic sculpture and vibrant feather-work headdresses, armbands and more.
