Dating back to the fifth millennium BCE, India's rich and vibrant
textile tradition boasts an enormous range of techniques and
extraordinary level of artistry. Drawn from one of the world's
finest collections of Indian textiles, this book presents a
fascinating overview of centuries of artistic production from every
corner of India. Each section examines a different region to reveal
its distinct textile traditions, patterns, and processes: Patola
silks from Gujarat, brocade lampas preserved in Tibetan temples,
mordant resist dyed cottons from Indonesia, embroideries from rural
Bengal, and silk saris from Murshidabad. The book also delves into
the roles that textiles have played in daily life over the
centuries, from household and dowry textiles to devotional pieces
and exquisite materials crafted for rich patrons. Each object is
photographed from multiple angles and reproduced in meticulous
detail. Many of the antique pieces featured here are exceedingly
rare, which makes this book an invaluable resource. Gorgeously
illustrated, this volume makes a stunning gift for anyone
interested in the history and craftmanship of one of the world's
oldest textile traditions.
