They (lrc the inheritors of an art tradition that is the product of long development and continues to this day in unbroken succession. Isolated communi ties till recent times, their traditions of art have been passed down by oral transmission from mother to daughter and father to son and reveals an inspiration and outward expression in forms and motifs that have remained basically unchanged through the years. Many of the art forms of the Adivasis are the result of deep spiritual experience or have their roots in dream, story, myth or legend. Significant forms have thus survived without major alteration through centuries during which the IInderlying lilyths and legends have remained basically the same. They have taken the materilll of their crafts from the environment :lro!lnd them. One of the commonest materials used was wood "lvhich was available in profuse abundance. The Mogra Devor Crocodile God made .fro/ll wood displayed on this volume comes from one of the riverine tracts of Bharllch District, which is the home of 1,109.601 persons constituting 4.16 per cent of the total State population. It is a good exam pie of the Adi vasi's view of his environment which is one of endless variety of rhythm, colollr and form and which finds vigorous expression in his crafts and other mode'S of special expression. Nearly half the population of this District is tribal. (Block from an ink tracing by K. D. Vaishnav, Geographer. from a photograph of a specimen at the Tribal Research Institute. Ahmadabad.)
