Caribbean Figure Pendants: Style and Subject Matter. Anthropomorphic Figure Pendants of the Late Ceramic Age in the Greater Antilles. antiquité Paul DemontThis work synthesizes art historical and anthropological methods in the analysis of a large corpus of indigenous figure pendants, commonly called amulets, from the Greater Antilles and Bahamas.
