Abstract

Mexican, North American, and European researchers explore the meanings and functions of two-and three-dimensional human representations in pre-Columbian communities of Mexican highlands. They demonstrate the potential of anthropomorphic imagery to elucidate personhood, conceptions of the body, and the relationship to other entities, nature, and the cosmos.--Provided by publisher.
