The Tropical jungle of Mentawai, one of the most isolated island groups in the world, lying off the coast of west Sumatra, is home to a unique, ancient, and still dynamic culture. Once feared headhunters, the people of Mentawai are inheritors of a living tradition that can be traced back to Neolithic times. This book reveals the soul of one of the world’s last remaining vital tribal civilizations through its art, generally unknown to the outside world, startling fresh, and showing striking affinities with modern art in the western idiom.
