SIMONI-ABBAT (Mireille) Catalogs of the Musée de l'Homme, Series H - America I. Paris, National Museum of Natural History, 1963. A rare scientific catalog devoted to the Huichol collections held at the Musée de l'Homme. The result of Mireille Simoni-Abbat’s research, this study provides a detailed description of the ritual objects, ornaments, ceremonial staffs, offerings, and artifacts of this Native American people from western Mexico, whose religious traditions have maintained remarkable continuity. Published with the support of the CNRS, this volume serves as a reference for ethnologists and enthusiasts of Native American art. The Musée de l’Homme’s older catalogs have become highly sought after for the quality of their documentation and their limited print runs.
