Walk in splendor : ceremonial dress and the MinangkabauEntry/Object ID
GT1535.W3 1999Description
Embellished with incredibly sophisticated gold, silver, and silk patterning, the refined ceremonial textiles of the Minangkabau people of West Sumatra are often so complicated that even a highly skilled weaver can complete only a few centimeters in a full day at her loom. In this lavishly illustrated volume, 13 contributing authors -- 9 of them Minangkabau -- consider ceremonial dress, motifs, fibers, patterning techniques, traditional architecture, ceremonies, jewelry, music, dance, literature, and historiography.Context
