The Cult of the Feline is based on papers given at a conference held at Dumbarton Oaks in November 1970 and was first published in 1972. The conference brought together anthropologists, archaeologists, art historians, and ethnologists to explore the iconography of the feline, from Central Mexico to South America, from 1200 BC to the present. Carefully selected and expertly edited by Elizabeth P. Benson, the nine essays in this volume provide an excellent cross-cultural and art-historical overview of the iconography of the feline in the Pre-Columbian world.
