A Sourcebook of Nasca Ceramic Iconography: Reading a Culture through Its Art

For almost eight hundred years (100 BC - AD 650) Nasca artists modeled and painted the plants, animals, birds, and fish of their homeland on Peru's south coast, and numerous abstract anthropomorphic creatures whose form and meaning are sometimes incomprehensible. This book describes the major artistic motifs of this stunning polychrome pottery.
