Published in conjunction with an exhibit at the Des Moines Art Center, the author introduces the reader to the origin and history of parfleche production. He further reveals the diversity and high quality of this art by devoting sections to materials, construction and painting techniques, forms and functions, characteristics and regional and tribal styles.
