The ritual hereditary jewelry of the peoples of the outer islands of Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines who have retained their rituals and myths, is seldom exhibited and even less seldom published. These precious ornaments have been presented in a magnificent exhibition of the collections of Geneva's Baarbier-Muller Museum. This catalogue of the exhibiton illustrates these beautiful objects in hundreds of sumptuous photographs that accompany a fine, comprehensive text that examines not only their beauty, but the cultural context in which this jewelry was created and worn.

Price: $165.00
