TRIBAL ART:
The Essential World Guide
Author: Judith Miller

Tribal Art spans the millennia and the continents -- Africa, Oceania, and The Americas -- providing a rich and diverse field for collectors to enjoy. From the Peruvian vessels of 400 BCE to the expressive African masks of the 20th century, the various examples give a fascinating insight into the lifestyles, beliefs, and ceremonies of different peoples across the globe.

This is the complete visual guide to the extraordinary range of tribal art collectibles. The book traces a path across the world, featuring artistically important countries and regions from Sierra Leone to Angola; from Australia to the Solomon Islands; and from the Arctic to the Andes. Over 1,000 collectible items are featured in full-color photographs with up-to-date price guides and tips for buying, selling, and collecting. Showcasing pieces by key tribes and peoples such as the Dogon of Mali, the Asmat of Iran Jaya, and the Mayan peoples of Southern Mexico, this book also tells the stories behind the artworks, capturing the essence of the culture that produced each item, from decorative shields and ornate statues to beautifully crafted everyday objects such as cooking utensils

Combining historical information, price guides, and collecting tips, this is a fine sourcebook for anyone with an interest in tribal art.
