| 520 | 1 | |a "Head ornaments provide the theme for the last volume in this series of books on the magnificent Ghysels collection of ethnic jewellery. The most precious part of the body, the head, attracts the gaze of all. At times deformed, scarred, tattooed, crowned, plumed or pierced, over time it became the main setting for the body-spectacle it had to protect. Most peoples accord particular care to hair, the site of a vital force. Long, plaited or raised into a chignon, hair is also adorned with various accessories." "Aiming to impose upon their subjects or impress their enemies, chiefs and warriors - whether African or from the archipelagos of the southern seas - would adorn their heads with fine feathers. One such example was the Amerindians, who were exceptional feather-dressers, and who for centuries produced a wide variety of headdresses and ornaments." "The book features over 200 illustrations and descriptions, a glossary, an index, maps and a general bibliography."--Jacket. | |
