"Miskwabik, Metal of Ritual is the first comprehensive study of this 3,000 year old phenomenon among the ancient peoples of eastern North America. By concentrating on the artifacts themselves, their complex aesthetics and iconography as well as their cultural context and technical sophistication, Miskwabik, Metal of Ritual describes the significance of the copper objects as well as their special function within the societies that created them."--Jacket.
