The rich tradition of Indian and Pakistani textile embroidery is the subject of this beautifully illustrated book. Paine, an expert in these techniques, provides a detailed essay on the materials and their makers, and the traditions of the different tribes and regions. A catalogue of over 20 textiles from the British Museum follows, with detailed, good-quality color photos. The volume concludes with a glossary, bibliography and index. Annotation c.
