DOUSTAR, Martin; COIFFIER, Christian and SCHULTZE-WESTRUM, Thomas. Golgotha. The Cult of Skulls. Paris, Martin Doustar, 2014. In-4, publisher's gray half-cartonnage illustrated with a color vignette pasted to the front cover, cloth spine adorned with a red title label. 223 pages, 130 color illustrations including 48 full-page skulls, 54 black and two-tone illustrations. Bilingual English/French text. Covers rubbed, minor scuffing and browning to binding. Magnificent catalog published on the occasion of the exhibition "Golgotha, regard vers les ancêtres" organized by Martin Doustar at the "Parcours des Mondes", which brought together an exceptional collection of skulls mainly from Africa and Oceania, with forays into Egypt, South America and Austria. A richly illustrated and well-documented study that completes the sparse bibliography devoted to human skulls in extra-European societies. A good copy of this unusual catalog.
