OwensNice basic reference book of documented southwest native american designs; primarialy focused on pottery designs. Some blanket and doll designs included as well. All renderings are black/white with reference to documentation. Great for art design projects for basic southwest decor. Designs are referenced to tribe and area and a little history included. Not a very indepth book; but a good basic starter for the southwest artist.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy cooks-a-lotcovered large area of designs and patent free was good.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. One of the better of the Dover Pictorial Archive seriesBy Peter D. TillmanI hadnt looked at this book for awhile; and had forgotten how well-done it is. The author went thru basically all of the old descriptive anthropology pubs from the earlier days; picked the best pottery designs (plus a few baskets); made new plates; and found a publisher -- all this back in 1936. This was a serious job of work. When I lived in Tucson; I would go down to the Anthropology Library; located in the splendid Reading Room of the old university library (now the State Museum). Besides being a great place to read; the library had (sfaict) copies of all the anthropology papers eer written on the Southwest; and thats a *lot* of paper. Great fun looking at the originals of the classics....Anyway; these are the good parts; if youre a fan of Southwest Indian pottery. The only real caveat is; these are all drawings; not photos; and some of them are pretty mechanically-drawn -- J.W. Fewkes papers were particularly bad for this; and Kenneth Chapmans about the best. Chapman did his own drawings; ims; and was an accomplished artist.As always; Dover books are well-made and a bargain to boot -- my copy; with a cover price of $3; is still pristine after many years. Highly recommended.Happy reading--Peter D. Tillman
