A World of Head Adornment: Africa, Asia, Oceania, America(ISBN=9788876242816) pdf pdb 阿里云 极速 mobi caj kindle 下载

　　A passionate interest and a lifetime spent seeking out the

world's finest ethnic jewelry has contributed to making the Ghysels

collection one of the premier collections of its kind in the world.

Jean-Pierre and Colette Ghysels have indulged their passion

indiscriminately, according as much attention to ethnographic

objects as to extraordinary pieces of ethnic jewelry. They are

guided by a single criterion: the quality that gives rise to

beauty, a strict standard indeed, but one made possible by their

longstanding familiarity with ethnic objects. A vast array of hair

combs, pins, jewelry made to be woven into braids, nose rings, lip

plugs, forehead ornaments and other related objects made out of the

most diverse materials, many never before seen, are presented in

beautifully composed photographs. The book is divided into

geographical sections and includes 200 annotated photographs, a

glossary, an index, maps, and a general bibliography. The author's

essay describes the uses and meaning of the objects in different

cultures and emphasizes the originality of the pieces.
