Summary

Used in the manufacture of clothing, sacred costume, shrouds, hangings, and ritual regalia, traditional textiles are one of the most vital and important South-East Asian art-forms. Produced by many different types of applique and decorative weaving, batik, embroidery, ikat and other forms of tye-dyeing, this authoritative and superbly illustrated guide demonstrates that the textiles are not only items of great artistic merit, but are also a fascinating record of indigenous,Indian, Chinese, Islamic, and European social, religious, and cultural influences on the region.
