Synopsis
Providing a survey of the rug weavings of the nomadic peoples of Iran, Afghanistan, Turkey, the Caucasus and Central Asia, this volume follows the history of their design evolution from the 2500-year-old Pazyryk rug (the oldest complete rug of complex design) to antique and traditional designs, and up to the present day. As tribal life gives way to relentless modernization and it becomes too late to simulate artificially the broad cultural support on which a living craft depends, the art of tribal rugs becomes increasingly the domain of the collector and the scholar. The book's discussion of the origins of tribal weaving patterns is accompanied by illustrations and diagrams which enable readers to identify the relationship between the different patterns.

[ ABOUT THE BOOK ] Tribal Rugs: A Complete Guide to Nomadic and Village Carpets Book by James Opie | Tribal Rugs is a survey of the weaving traditions of nomadic peoples in Iran, Afghanistan, Turkey and the Caucasus. Drawing on James Opie's study of the tribes of these regions since 1970, it describes the ancient roots of tribal weaving and the development and significance of shared designs. | The book examines the Pazyryk rug, a complexly patterned piece made nearly two and a half thousand years ago and uncovered in the grave of a Scythian chieftain, and traces its links to later weavings. It follows the history of ancient and traditional designs, explaining relationships between patterns and helping readers identify them. Opie discusses the origins of tribal weaving patterns and presents the subject in an accessible way. (OS). Seller Inventory # Batch-FM811-VG-15912
