[ED: Hardcover/gebunden], [PU: School of American Research], Klappentext: "In this definite study of prehistoric textiles, Kate Peck Kent traces the history of weaving in the Southwest long before the Spanish conquest. She has recorded and examined thousands of woven articles - archaeological finds - all the evidence available to her in museum collections and published reports. Her research will interest many more than those who think the southwestern weaving as synonymous with Navajo weaving. The authot illuminates the antecedents of Navajo weaving as she follows the courseof the indigenous tradition back through the arts of the early Pueblo Indians, the Basketmakers, and the Mogollon peoples. We are led through the "Gran Chichimeca" to the roots of southwestern weaving in the textile arts of the high cultures of Mexico, Central America, and Peru. "Prehistoric Textiles of the Southwest" covers an extraordinary range of subject matter with clarity and care, richly accompanied by nearly 200 illustrations. The author discusses the preparations of fibres and dyes (yarns, leaves, fur, feathers, and human hair), both nonloom and loom fabrics and weaves, wearing apparel, and utilitarian and ceremonial objects. Other topics include cordage, looping, netting, bands, belts, twined warps and wefts, and the question of sprang, as well as openwork, float, and compound weaves, embroidery, painting, and the influence of textile processes on design.", DE, [SC: 4.80], leichte Gebrauchsspuren, gewerbliches Angebot, XX, 315 Seiten, [GW: 1289g], [PU: Santa Fe], first edition, Banküberweisung, PayPal, Selbstabholung und Barzahlung, Internationaler Versand, [CT: Design/Künste/Film / Mode/Textil]<
