Compiling the data from early documents and public and private collections, this title remind us that the statuary should not be viewed in isolation, but rather as regional expressions of a much broader body of art, ritual, and belief. It also includes examples of southeastern Mississippian stone statuary, dating as far back as 1,000 years ago.
