Author Description

"The pieces featured in this book are held in the collections of the Indian Arts Research Center at the School of American Research in Santa Fe, New Mexico. They represent the work of Native American artisans who for centuries have fashioned objects that were both utilitarian and beautiful. They also represent a legacy that reflects the skills, traditions, and enthusiasms of the items' makers, their descendants, their users, their collectors, and their admirers."--BOOK JACKET.
