Nagual in the Garden: Fantastic Animals in Mexican Ceramics
Mulryan, Lenore Hoag
1996 10015221 Soft Cover. Brand New. Mexican potters often depict fantastic animals in clay and paint. One of these is the nagual, a lively trickster spirit that Hoag Mulryan proposes as the ma nifestation of the indigenous creative soul. This study comes to focus on the art of master potter Jorge Wilmot and the potters associated with him in Tonal , Jalisco, West Mexico. Wilmot's own extens ive pottery collection, from pre-Columbian to post-Revolutionary pieces, provides the basis for Hoag Mulryan's diachronic investigation: the author traces the evolution of the nagual and its cohorts i n the changing context ("garden") of their ceramic ecology through Mexican history--from their appearance as spirit guides in ancient Mexican burial chambers, to their subjugation after conquest and c olonization, to their triumphant re-emergence in the post-Revolutionary era. 156 pages, 177 color illustrations, 6 black-and-white illustrations. Appendix. Bibliography. University of California Los Angeles, Fowler 0-930741-49-8 / 9780930741495
