DescriptionThis is a collection of drawings and paintings made by people of the Pirá-Paraná at Stephen Hugh-Jones' request. Many illustrate stories, depict abstract designs used in decorating house façades, or shamanic visions. Also included are a small number of colored drawings used for a color perception experiment. After many of these drawings were completed, notes about the contents of the drawings were made either on the back of the sheet or on an overlaid sheet of tracing paper. Thus, many of these images belong in pairs, either denoted "image" and "key" or "reverse" and "obverse" in their descriptions. A very small number of images had notes on the back of the sheet in addition to an accompanying sheet of tracing paper. The images themselves and the sheets of tracing paper had been separated at some point, and were mostly matched up in 2021. Some members of pairs (sometimes the tracing paper overlay, sometimes the image itself) have not been found.
