Description: Mimbres Indian Treasure: In the Land of Baca is a fascinating tale about the ancient Mimbres Indians of southwestern New Mexico, highlighting their exceptional artistic abilities and presumed cultural habits. It is a personal narrative spiced with historical recollections of early settlers in the area and accented by speculation as to the origin of these talented Indian people. The Mimbreos, or "People of the Willows" as they are often referred to, were artists possessing a creative proficiency to a degree not found among other North American Indians of early times. They alone depicted their lifestyle and daily activities in paintings on their bowls. Their burial custom of placing a decorated bowl over the head o a departed loved one has brought worldwide attention to their artwork. Mimbres Indian Treasure is a 352-page book containing photographs and descriptions of the 154 bowls in the Roy H. Evans Collection as well as many Similitude drawings by R. Evelyn Ross.
