::01

Those interested in knowing more about the graphic art and body adornments of this population, as well as general information should consult the article by Berta Ribeiro, published in 1982, called “A Oleira e a Tecelã”[ The Potter and the Weaver], in no.26 of the Revista de Antropologia. There is also the text entitled “Pintura e Adornos Corporais”[ Body Painting and Adornments], by Lux Vidal and Regina Müller, published in the third volume of the collection Suma Etnológica Brasileira, in 1987. There is also a book by Regina Müller, called Os Asurini do Xingu (História e Arte)[The Asurini of the Xingu (History and Art)], published in 1990, and the article “Tayngava, a noção de representação na arte gráfica”[ Tayngava, the notion of representation in graphic art], which is a chapter of the classic collection called Grafismo Indígena, edited by Lux Vidal, in 1992. Finally, there is the Doctoral thesis in Social Anthropology by Fabiola Silva, defended in 2002 at USP, entitled As Tecnologias e seus significados [Technologies and Their Meanings].
