"The first of four catalogs documenting each piece in the Bliss Collection, work includes topical essays on the collector's perspective (E.H. Boone), the Andean world and technology of metal and cloth (H. Lechtman), textile structure and meaning (W.J. Conklin), and Peruvian textile art (A.P. Rowe). Object descriptions grouped by cultural affiliation include technological data, iconography, cultural significance, and reference to similar objects elsewhere"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
