The meanings of ritualized head treatments among ancient Mesoamerican and Andean peoples is the subject of this book. Heads are sources of power that protect, impersonate, emulate sacred forces, distinguish, or acquire identity within the native world. The essays in this book examine these themes in a wide array of indigenous head treatments.
