Abstract
This book is an excellent source on Tupinamba material culture. Métraux bases his work on material gathered from existing sources and on data obtained by personally examining objects of Tupinamba origin found in various European museums. The book also contains a list of all the Tupí-Guaraní tribes with their geographical positions and a very extensive bibliography. The only sections of the book translated and reproduced here are those describing Tupinamba objects located in the European museums. Several illustrations of those objects are also reproduced.
