Zusammenfassung:"This volume documents the splendid accomplishments of Ancient West Mexico, and brings together some of its finest examples of sculptural art, including representations of people, animals and plants, as well as vessels and models of houses, ceremonial centres, ball games and ritual scenes. All the extraordinary earthenware figures illustrated here have been recovered from burial sites and shaft tombs. They represent a wide range of subjects, warriors, chieftains, ladies, acrobats, shamans, musicians, ball players, festival couples and bound prisoners, in a variety of styles from about 200 BC to AD 800, that compose the artistic canon of Ancient West Mexico, a region encompassing the modern states of Colima, Jalisco and Nayarit"--Publisher's description
