Ancient Art of the Province of Chiriqui, Colombia

Description

Author: Holmes, William Henry (1846-1933)

Publisher: Smithsonian Institution

Pub Date: 1888

Binding: Paperback

Condition: Fair.  Binding tight.  No marks, tears, bends or folds.  This report was excised from a hardcover copy of the Sixth Annual Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology, 1884-1885.  The original hardcover was falling apart and I had this report rebound in paperback.  Some spotting to side text block.  Foxing to all text blocks.

Notes: At the time of this report Chiriqui was the furthest northern province of Colombia.  Today it is the westernmost province of Panama, bordering Costa Rica.  This report is incredibly well-illustrated–graves, ritual objects, sculpture, weapons, and a boatload of pottery.
