Synopsis
Profiles a West Bengali caste specializing in producing painted narrative scrolls and performing songs to accompany their unrolling., Navajo weavings, long regarded for their remarkable aesthetics, have never before been investigated from the standpoint of the weaver's process and intent. This book explores the patterns and irregularities often overlooked or considered "flaws" in these beautiful textiles, and it seeks to identify the mythic symbols and historic and personal stories they contain. The inclusion of objects and the use of color, pattern, and weave variations are found to be significant symbols of the way a weaver thinks about the world. A weaver may pray her way into the center of the rug, where the most intricate work and color will appear. Patterns may portray a vision of the world animated by spirits and holy people, recounting the creation of the heavens, the earth, and the loom itself. Weaving a World includes seventy rugs from the celebrated collection of the Laboratory of Anthropology in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and documentary photographs of today's weaving culture on the Navajo reservation.

- o***t (1818)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseYou DO NOT deserve 5 stars for shipping, not the price but the packaging. The USPS delivered the basket in one of their damage bags. Why? because the basket and wrapping had come out of the box you put it in a sealed with masking tape. Masking Tape! You are one lucky seller that the basket arrived. I have been watching this little basket for quite some time and glad to have it, But to think it was nearly lost due to Masking Tape.....2.25" Miniature Papago Tohono O'odham basket c. 1990 (#374441355983)
