Description: This book fulfills a primary function by describing one of the least studied phenomena: the ritual nature of ceremonial masks, which is illustrated with the case of the Tarascans or Purépechas of the Michoacán mountains. Through a comprehensive study that reviews the emergence, function and evolution of ceremonial masks, the author helps us understand the ritual and artistic world of this indigenous group. The study includes notes on the postclassical and colonial periods, as well as on contemporary masks and the syncretic influences that permeate the use and manufacture of masks today. The author's rigorous description of the regional contexts in which masks are used also constitutes an important contribution to ritual and ceremonial studies. Mascaras Cermoniales De Los Tarascos De LaSierra De Michoacan by Janet Brody Esser is in nice shape. It does have a small separation of the laminate on the front cover. It also has corner, edge and rub wear on both covers. Please see photos. Please look at our other listings for More Books & Magazines. We will be adding more items in the future.
