{"product_id":"2940016637839","title":"Art in Shell of the Ancient Americans","description":"Excerpt:\u003cbr\u003eThe student will find scattered throughout a wide range of archæologic literature frequent but casual mention of works of art in shell. Individual uses of shell have been dwelt upon at considerable length by a few authors, but up to this time no one has undertaken the task of bringing together in one view the works of primitive man in this material.\u003cbr\u003eWorks of ancient peoples in stone, clay, and bronze, in all countries, have been pretty thoroughly studied, described, and illustrated.\u003cbr\u003eStone would seem to have the widest range, as it is employed with almost equal readiness in all the arts.\u003cbr\u003eClay is widely used and takes a foremost place in works of utility and taste.\u003cbr\u003eMetals are too intractable to be readily employed by primitive peoples, and until a high grade of culture is attained are but little used.","brand":"Hannah Stuart","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47153498095856,"sku":"2940016637839","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016637839_p0.jpg?v=1763639203","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016637839","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
