Requests:  0 Summary:  Textiles of the Middle East and Central Asia explores the significance and beauty of textiles from across the Middle East, Turkey, and Central Asia. This vast region has been the focus of population movements, exploration, and trade for thousands of years and is home to a wealth of textile traditions. From the intricate embroidery on a Palestinian wedding dress to the complex iconography on an Afghan war rug, textiles reflect the beliefs, practices, and experiences of people from these lands. The book is arranged thematically with pieces grouped according to their purpose or meaning, enabling, for example, the comparison of domestic furnishings, wedding attire, and children's garments from across the region. The book also includes contemporary works that grapple with modern political issues. The textiles featured include male and female garments, hats and headdresses, rugs and felts, children's clothing, dolls, tent hangings, amulets and animal harnesses.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 746.0956 Su Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 746.0956 Suleman Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 746.0956 Su Checked In Add Copy to MyList
