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.
