The appealing, affordable, Native American art of flat pots. The Hopi people of northern Arizona and their Pueblo relatives in New Mexico are famous for their fine pottery jars, bowls, and figures. But they also have a less well-known tradition: the making of unique, handcrafted clay tiles, beginning with ancient altarpieces and progressing to one-of-a-kind contemporary art tiles prized by collectors.

Profusely illustrated, with a foreword by the noted anthropologist and artist Barton Wright, Hopi and Pueblo Tiles is the first full-length study of these charming flat pots. 80 color & b/w photos.
