  • Résumé: "This generously illustrated book explores the pottery of the Mimbres people and offers new insight into its imagery Named after a valley in what is now Southwestern New Mexico the Mimbres culture flourished between the 9th and 12th centuries Through the exploration of paintings on Mimbres bowls this book offers revelations about the culture's worldview based on the patterns and shapes depicted in their pottery Drawing on extensive research as well as photography of the flora and fauna that still thrive in the Mimbres valley the authors make the case that the pottery's beautiful blackandwhite paintings and highly intricate designs are abstractions of visual experiencessome seen in the natural world and others generated by trancelike states brought on by ingesting the datura plant Presenting a distinctive new interpretation of the iconography of ancient Mimbres painted ceramics this volume addresses Mimbres culture and how this past civilization lived and communicated with the spirit world"
