Mimbres Ceramic Art in Context

The Mimbres, a prehistoric people living in the Southwest New Mexico from A.D. 950 to 1150, refined and executed complex and naturalistic painted ceramics and their relationship to other ceramics created by the cultures of the Southwest region are explored in Barbara Moulard's extensive text. Her writing is the first to examine the art of the Mimbres within a much larger framework of regional religious, political and artistic tradition. Over one hundred full page gravure plates of masterpiece ceramics accompany the text.
