About This Item
London: British Museum Press, 1991. Hardcover. VG/VG- light wear and scuffing to dust jacket.. Maroon boards with gilt spine lettering. Glossy color-illustrated dust jacket wtih white lettering. xv, 143 pp. Color illustrations. "In Bali textiles are more than just cloths from which garments are made. They play a vital role in the rich culture of the island, especially in religious observance. It is not uncommon, for example, to find chequered cloths bound around the trunk of a large tree, or draped over an upended stone. At festival times the temples are hung with textiles, symbolising divinity, and processions carry large woven banners. Socially, Balinese costume can express different phases of a person's life as well as differing levels within the social hierarchy." -Jacket.
