From the Back Cover
The study of the native arts of North America is still in its infancy, and it will be many years until a sufficient number of objects is published to permit an overview of this artistic heritage. A principal purpose of this catalogue is to increase the number of objects easily available for study and comparison, and to introduce a large number of exceptional works of art. Pleasing the Spirits is a catalogue of a collection of American Indian art. (9 X 11 1/4, 408 pages, color photos, b&w photos)
