Patterns that connect : social symbolism in ancient & tribal art / Carl Schuster & Edmund Carpenter.

Schuster, Carl, 1904-1969 (Author). Carpenter, Edmund, 1922-2011 (Added Author).

Summary:

Travelers & scholars have long been puzzled by similarities in the arts of diverse ancient & tribal cultures. It remained for the American art historian Carl Schuster (1904-1969) to discover a set of patterns designed by ancient peoples to illustrate their ideas about kinship. Schuster succeeded in decoding this iconography, which lasted over ten thousand years, crossed continents, & outlived most of the cultures that sheltered it.
