From dust jacket: "For the first time in any language, the astounding achievements of all artistically important cultures in medieval America appear in one work...From nearly 12,000 photographs acquired 960 were selected to illustrate this survey...Fifty one archaeological sites are illustrated, and eighty four museums and private collections - in the United States, Mexico, Central America, and Europe are represented... Because of its unique approach and and broad scope, this book fills a gap long felt by museums and institutions, as well as by laymen interested in the art side of pre-Columbian America. Its magnificent photographs and wealth of comparative material make it indispensable to all concerned with the antiquity of our continent." Contents include: "Architecture. Sculpture. Pottery. Weaving. Metal work. Jade and other semiprecious stones. Murals and manuscripts. Miscellaneous applied arts. Facets of daily life."
