Average Customer Ratings:





Why the elegant Mimbres black-on-white pottery designs have largely escaped the attention of the art world and the general public is as puzzling as the life and disappearance of the Mimbres people themselves. In their primitive world-living a nearly Stone Age existence within southwest New Mexico and southeast Arizona in the tenth century A.D.-these mysterious people made their delicate and refined pottery with enchanting hand-painted, black-on-white designs that go unrivalled in all the 8,000 years of pottery making. With a succinct, accurate explanatory text, precise renderings of Mimbres designs, and thoughtful interpretations for each work of art, "Art of a Vanished Race" offers a veritable art history of the remarkable Mimbres people.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
great homage to a forgotten group of artists. - 




I saw the largest collection of this pottery while in Silver City, NM and wanted a book about it. This is a great reasonably priced example of mimbres art and is suitable for framing (after you remove from book). In the meantime I'll try not to get tatoos of the geckos.
