The first major publication on the art of the New Guinea Highlands,
this extraordinary volume is destined to become the definitive
resource on this little-known region. The Jolika Collection of New
Guinea Art of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco consists of
thousands of objects and represents hundreds of clans and villages
throughout New Guinea. The first book in a projected ten-volume
series, this lavishly illustrated volume focuses on the Highlands-a
region of rugged mountains, fertile valleys, and a civilization
that dates back more than forty thousand years. Here, in more than
six hundred pages of rich color, are beautifully crafted masks,
shields, headdresses, and ceremonial and personal objects, the
majority of which have never before been published or exhibited.
Archival and reference photographs, maps of key locations, and
authoritative essays by more than a dozen preeminent scholars
covering a wide range of subjects, from prehistoric agriculture to
body art, make this book a collector's dream.
