Abstract

"A full representation of the American Indians' contribution to world art, based on original sources and covering the entire field of North, Central and South America. The designs illustrated have been drawn and colored after the finest examples of Indian weaving, embroidery, basketry, pottery, metal-work, sculpture, painting and manuscript-writing from more than 100 tribes and groups ranging in scope from the Arctic Circle to Cape Horn."--WorldCat.org.
