5.0 out of 5 stars
An improved understanding of the ritual and cultural life,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Talking Birds, Plumed Serpents and Painted Women: Ceramics of Casas Grandes (Paperback)
Compiled and edited by Joanne Stuhr (Curator of the Tucson Museum of Art) and featuring contributions by Eduardo Gamboa Carrera (Instituto Nacional de Arte y Historia) and John Ware (Amerind Foundation), Talking Birds, Plumed Serpents And Painted Women: The Ceramics Of Casas Grandes offers an informative, beautiful, enthusiastically recommended presentation showcasing the Native American ceramics of Casas Grandes. Flourishing from approximately 1300-1450 A.D., the Casas Grandes culture of Chihuahua in Norther Mexico is currently the focus of an archeological renaissance with excavations offering superlative new discovers every year. With its 75 full color photographs of truly exquisite potteries and bilingual essays, we are treated to Casas Grandes cosmology with depictions of Macaws, snakes, birds, transformational imagery, complex geometric designs, all contributing to an improved understanding of the ritual and cultural life of this ancient Native American MesoAmerican culture.
