This is a very nice presentation of a collection of pueblo pottery that has been in storage and released for a traveling exhibit. It has many examples and histories of interest to collectors and students.
I became interested in this book after meeting Dr. Brody and his wife (also) Dr. Brody an anthropologist in the Yucatan peninsula this past winter. The book has great information and many gorgeous photos of Pueblo pottery. It and they were very inspiring.
Another great book on Southwest Pottery. Would recommend to students and enthusiasts alike. A fun read with some interesting information.
Though this highlights an earlier era of Acoma pottery, it is very interesting and well done, I would recommend it to collectors.
Excellent book! Exactly as described and fast shipping.
