For thousands of years, the Indians of Florida created exquisite objects from natural materials - wood, bone, stone, clay, and shell. This full-colour book, the first devoted exclusively to the artistic achievements of the Florida aborigines, describes and illustrates 116 of these artefacts. They date from the Paleoindian period (ca. 9500-8000 B.C.) to the mid-sixteenth century and include utilitarian articles, instruments of personal adornment and magic, and objects indicating status or paying homage to ancestors,  Hardback in near new condition.  124 pages.  This copy has a signed dedication from the author to collector and museum benefactor Geoffrey Senior and, as a loose insert, an offprint of her paper from the American Anthropologist journal on the effect of the arrival of Europeans on the culture of Florida's native populations.  Cat No 3101
