"Totems to Turquoise: Native North American Jewelry Arts of the Northwest and Southwest celebrates the timeless beauty and power of the jewelry of the American Southwest and Northwest Coast, two regions with distinguished traditions of visual creation whose contemporary artists continue to work in the best of those traditions while expanding upon them to make jewelry an art form expressive of individual vision and creativity." "Lavishly illustrated, both with historical photographs and a wealth of new photography commissioned for this publication, Totems to Turquoise: Native North American Jewelry Arts of the Northwest and Southwest will be an important resource for students, scholars, designers, and indeed for anyone who loves beautiful and well-made objects. 185 illustrations, including 150 plates in full color."--Jacket.
