This book is a study of the art on pottery bowls of the Mimbres Indians from about 1000 AD in the Grant, Luna, and Hildago Counties of SW New Mexico. There is a considerable amount of pottery available from the Mimbres Valley due to the ritual of burying pottery with the dead under the floors of their dwellings. The bowls usually have a hold punched in the center to release the spirit of the bowls at burial. These bowls depict a very realistic picture of the life, culture, and animals of this region. Illustrated with hundreds of photographs of pottery from scientific institutions with descriptions and interpretations of the bowl's art. A clean very presentable copy.
