ETHNIC JEWELRY.

Mack, J. (ed.).

New York: 1988. 207 pages, 42 color and 124 b/w photographs, 5 maps. Cloth cover. Item #136

The color and exuberance of ethnic jewelry from Africa, Asia, the Pacific, the Americas and the Middle East are examined and beautifully illustrated in this volume. How this jewelry has been made and worn, the relationship of the material to the culture, and how the techniques of manufacture have survived for centuries are discussed, while the large, excellent photographs illustrate scores of ethnic jewelry objects (many from the collections of the British Museum) from the world's cultures.
