"Excellent sourcebook" according to Enrique Torres. This is a very good book, made with the traditional Dover Publication quality found in other books in their series that feature pictorials as diverse in subject matter as Art Noveau and Japanese Designs. As stated in the book, it is a permanent book produced with the quality standards used for the best books inc
The Indians of ancient Ecuador decorated their clay spindles and beads with brilliantly realized images, many of which were drawn from their everyday lives. This collection includes 282 of these pre-Columbian designs (500–1500 a.d.), among them rich representations of people, mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, plants, heads, geometric designs and more.
