Produktbeschreibung
The forested plateau of Hazaribagh in the State of Jharkhand in Eastern India is now famous for Meso-chalcolithic rockart which the author and his family brought to light in the 1990's along with a rich palaeolithic stone tool culture.

In a region threatened by mining he showed the urgency to protect this rich heritage and in 1993 he created the Tribal Women Artists Cooperative which has held scores of exhibitions internationally highlighting the art.
