From the Book back cover:
Why the elegant Mimbres black-on-white pottery designs have escaped the attention of the art world, or the general public for that matter, is as puzzling as the life and disappearance of the Mimbres people themselves. In their primitive world-living nearly a Stone Age existence in the tenth century A.D. – these mysterious people made their delicate and refined pottery with enchanting hand-painted black-on-white designs that go unrivalled in all the 8,000 years of pottery making.
Victor M. Giammattei (writer, veterinarian, teacher) and Nanci Greer Reichert (fashion designer) are both natives of California. As for their book, they consider it a tribute to the forgotten people of the American Southwest.
