Book Description Hard Cover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Limited second edition. Subtitle: "Reports from the Scientific Expedition to the North-western provinces of China under the Leadership of Dr. Sven Hedin". Limited edition reprint of the now scarce 1941 edition. A important technical study and reference work on the textiles found during Sven Hedin's 1934 expedition into Chinese Turkistan (now Xinjiang Province, China). The materials were found at Lou-Lan, in the southwestern quadrant of the Taklamakan Desert, on the southern silk road route -- the dating of the Lou-Lan site is still a matter of debate, although the current consensus is that it was settled from about 2000 BCE through into the first centuries of the Common Era. Objects of Sylwan's study included leather footware, plaited and woven woolen garments, discovered on the mummified remains in ancient graves in the settlement, as well as miscellaneous ornaments, baskets and shamanist parphernalia. Details of production methods and equipment are explored, and comparisons are made between the Lou-Lan finds and contemporary archaeological materials from European and Middle Eastern sites. The book concludes with an appendix by Gösta Montell comparing spinning tools and methods employed by the ancient inhabitants of East, Southeast and Central Asia. 127 pp. text including 47 figures and 2 maps, and 19 plates, including 71 b&w and 2 colour photos; glossary, bibliography Size: 30 x 22 cm.
