Northern Sumatra is home to the Batak ethnic group which, in turn, is sub-divided into individual tribal groups each with their own language and cultural identity.  Many of these have been researched and documented in the past, but a small unknown clan, the Kalasan, has been discovered by the author of this book who goes into great detail to record their lifestyle, their ancestral practices and the production of sculptural effigies which are illustrated in many excellent colour and b&w photographs.  Includes, maps, bibliography and glossary.  Large paperback.  236 pages.  New condition in publisher’s original shrinkwrap.   Cat No 3928
