- Summary:
- "Of universal appeal and unique beauty, feathers have for thousands of years been used by people in all parts of the world to adorn themselves and to animate their environment. Among traditional societies, feathers and objects embellished with feathers also have great cultural value and are imbued with spiritual energy and supernatural force. The feather arts of ancient Peru have been little investigated. This publication summarizes what is currently known--on the basis of iconography, technical data, and the archaeological record--about this exquisite and unusual art form"--From the Metropolitan Museum of Art website
