Description

"This book examines the textile traditions across Timor, delineating approximately twenty different style areas. It explores the uniqueness of these regional styles as well as the borrowings among them. Emphasis is placed on the use of various weaving techniques, and the book is abundantly illustrated with studio photographs of exemplary textiles, as well as field shots showing their use in the past, as well as their persistence into the present. The dynamism of the traditions and their evolution are also traced." -- PUBLISHER
