A system of myths, symbols, and rituals, dating back to the
Paleolithic and Neolithic, survives in present-day imagery. In
exploring this system, special attention is drawn to the linkage
between ancient and contemporary civilizations of Eurasia and
Mesoamerica, as seen in their cosmology, and expressed in common
mythological and iconographic themes. The author examines
contemporary Middle American and eastern European textiles,
especially women's garments, that contain an elaborated sacred code
of symbols, and include remnants of the four horizontal directions,
and the three vertical worlds that portray the structure of the
universe. The cosmology contained in patterns around the world
denotes striking parallels that attest to internal connections
between different cultures, beyond time and place.
