Description: The Olmec World: Ritual and Rulership. Coe, Michael D. Princeton, NJ: Art Museum, Princeton University in association with Harry N. Abrams, 1995. Softcover, 344 pages, extensively illustrated with color and b&w photos. Documents an exhibition held December 16, 1995 through February 25, 1996 at the Art Museum, Princeton University, and April 14th through June 9, 1996 at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston. 1995. Essays by prominent scholars offer interpretations of such topics as the power of objects within the context of the Olmec ritual system. These identify and illustrate the fundamental themes of Olmec small-scale sculpture, the sacred role of the maize in Olmec ideology, and the relationship of Olmec culture to later civilizations. An illustrated glossary of motifs and symbols is provided to clarify the often highly abstract style and encoded iconography of the Olmec. The book also includes precise mineralogical descriptions of the lithic materials they used.
