Although many of the symbols and patterns found on pottery, basketry, rugs and jewelry have histories and meanings assigned to them, many do not. Southwest Indian Designs is an attempt to answer some of the more commonly asked questions and provide valuable insight into those designs that do not have specific meanings. Included are symbols and explanations of Zuni, Navajo, Hopi, Tewa, Acoma, Pueblo, Mimbres and Hohokam designs. Bahti has recreated close to 200 symbols and their variations making this an invaluable guide to those interested in the art, history, and culture of the Indians of the Southwest. --back cover of book.
