Ward and Jennifer Snodgrass. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 182-183) and index. 520 8 $a The territory stretching from northern Mexico to Chile is one of six world regions where ancient civilizations arose joining Egypt, the Near East and Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley, North China and Southeast Asia. The intellectual and artistic accomplishments of the ancient American peoples rival those of the others, including fully developed writing systems, the tallest structures in the western hemisphere until the 20th century, and textiles and painted ceramics of unsurpassed complexity and refinement.0The collection at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, is particularly strong in Mayan ceramics, early Andean textiles and gold objects from Panama and Colombia, and throughout its history the museum has been at the forefront in presenting pre-Columbian artifacts as part of art history rather than in the context of natural history or archaeology. The artworks featured in this volume exemplify the aesthetics and supreme craftsmanship of the peoples of the ancient Americas in pictorial pottery, sumptuous gold body adornments and luxury textiles. 505 0 $a Director's foreword / Matthew Teitelbaum, Ann and Graham Gund Director, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston -- Acknowledgments / Dorie Reents-Budet, Consulting Curator, Art of the Ancient Americas, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston -- The earliest American arts / Dorie Reents-Budet -- Spirit and cosmos -- Portraiture -- Regalia -- Fabrics of power -- Feasting -- Performance -- Timeline, maps, further reading, figure illustrations, index. 610 20 $a Museum of Fine Arts, Boston $v Catalogs. 610 27 $a Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00533093 650 0 $a Indian art $v Catalogs. 650 0 $a Indian art $z Latin America $v Catalogs. 650 0 $a Indians $x Antiquities $v Catalogs. 651 0 $a America $x Antiquities $v Catalogs. 651 0 $a Latin America $x Antiquities $v Catalogs. 650 0 $a Art $z Boston $z Boston $v Catalogs. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009115867 650 7 $a TRAVEL / Museums, Tours, Points of Interest. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815177 650 7 $a Art, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815895 650 7 $a Indian art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969029 651 7 $a Massachusetts $z Boston. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205012 655 7 $a Catalogs. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423692 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423692 700 1 $a Carr, Dennis, $e contributor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2001026889 710 2 $a Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79058410 830 0 $a MFA highlights. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2003121212 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213014749.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F30C4EDE083E11EABF3FA51A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
