About This Item
New York: Dover Publications Inc., 1981 For many primitive societies, the history of the people is written in the textiles they make and wear. Beyond the obvious utilitarian functions of clothing, these native garments articulate a silent and enduring language of shifting social and political patterns, technical development, and religious symbolism. Mutely but adeptly, they document the unwritten character of disappearing cultures. From the collection of Sanje (Frank) Elliott, Buddhist mentor, artist, and friend to many. Condition notes: 28 numbered pp +32 color plates, plus biographies; TPB. Pages: clean, bright, tight, small frontis; all edges slightly sunned. Cover: glossy brown wraps (faded to blue at spine and adjacent boards), tan titles front, white titles spine; very light edge/shelfwear, extrems barely worn.
