An Introduction to Indonesian Tribal Sculptures,
By Professor Robert Henry Sr. "Antiquities Lover" (Springfield, MA USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Messages in Stone: Statues and Sculptures from Tribal Indonesia (Hardcover)
Excellent anthropological study of five tribal regions and their religious stone sculptures as found by the Barbier family across Indonesia. Unfortunately, only Nias, the Batak, Sunda, and East & West Sumba are covered, with good photographs of local pieces still in situ as well as some examples acquired by the Geneva Museum (fewer than I expected). The ample photography is all in black & white (not limiting, since the stones are mostly natural white to grey), but some descriptions are unclear as to which photograph they belong (only a few are numbered). If you like tribal cultural history, this book should please you.
