Mimbres Classic Mysteries: Reconstructing a Lost Culture Through Its Pottery (2002)

Industrial designer Tom Steinbach recreates the remarkable and colourful poetry designs of Mimbres classic culture (ad1000-1150) in seventy-five digitally produced renderings that uniquely depict evidence of Mimbres life, culture and environment. In addition to the remarkable motif interpretations, the author uses the designs to sketch out additional information about this culture, including hypothesising about the Mimbres view of nature, and the artists themselves.
