"Encompassing the modern states of Jalisco, Colima, and Nayarit, the archaeological region of ancient West Mexico is renowned for its spectacular earthenware tomb sculpture, the legacy of societies that flourished there between 200 B.C. and A.D. 800. This book and the major exhibition it accompanies document the splendid accomplishments of the region, bringing together more than 220 of the finest examples of its sculpture from both public and private collections worldwide.". "The essays are supplemented by maps, archaeological site plans, tomb reconstructions, and photographs of the West Mexican landscape."--BOOK JACKET.
