Book Description Hardbound. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: new. First. The unique character of Lan Na culture, so different from that of coastal Southeast Asia, is reflected in the textiles and dress of its 19th century courts, and was developed through the integration of local cultures and societies living in the hills and valleys. In the court workshops, indigenous silk and cotton, Chinese silk, Burmese and Shan fabrics, with embroideries and sumptuous trimmings, were used to create ceremonial court dress, while goldsmiths and silversmiths, wood carvers and lacquer makers produced court regalia. In this lavishly illustrated book, the author, a textile expert, traces the history of the Lanna princes, their complex marital and political alliances with the surrounding inland principalities and with Siam, China and Burma. 281 pp., profusely illustrated in col. and (historical) b&w images. New/unread, in original shrink wrap. Size: 29 x 22 cm. Seller Inventory # 001942
