This title is printed to order. This book may have been self-published. If so, we cannot guarantee the quality of the content. In the main most books will have gone through the editing process however some may not. We therefore suggest that you be aware of this before ordering this book.

The premise on which this book is based is that artwork and artifacts-the material culture made by individuals-often reflect the values, ideas and assumptions of the community of which they are a part, and as such may be used actively as evidence of a people’s beliefs rather than simply as passive illustrations for their subject matter alone.
