The extraordinary works presented exemplify the craftsmanship of highly skilled African weavers and provide insight into the lives and culture of various ethnic groups. Whether the materials used are wool, cotton, silk, raffia, or bark, the patterns the weavers produce are predominantly geometric and abstract, but highly stylized figurative motifs are also found. The designs frequently illustrate excerpts from historical or mythical stories. The book presents a breathtaking variety of costumes, textiles, and accessories used for everyday wear and for special celebrations, and explores the different techniques, influences, and meanings behind these colorful works of art. The essays describe the history of the development of these techniques and the richness of the symbolism in this form of cultural heritage. The superb photography showcases the splendor of these intricate and exquisite textiles. / Anne-Marie Bouttiaux is chief curator of the Ethnography Department at the of the Royal Museum of Central Africa in Tervuren, Belgium.

Couverture rigide. Condition: Comme neuf. Dust Jacket Condition: Comme neuf. Collection Ira Brind - 200 p. - Poids : 1600 gr - Les quelque cent quarante coiffures présentées dans Parures de tête nous conduisent vers les terres les plus reculées d'Afrique et d'Asie. La nature environnante s'y est montrée généreuse envers les artisans qui. grâce à leur génie créateur et leur savoir-faire, en ont merveilleusement exploité les ressources. Fibres, graines. feuillages et fleurs : plumes chatoyantes. coquillages immaculés ou iridescents. dents et fourrure : minerais de fer, cuivre. argent et or : tous ces matériaux ont largement contribué à conférer leur force ou leur éclat aux parures de tête. Ces dernières se déclinent sous forme de chapeaux, bonnets, coiffes. couronnes et bandeaux. Des siècles durant, les grandes voies commerciales et de pèlerinage ont facilité l'acquisition de matériaux rares et de produits manufacturés, ainsi que la diffusion de techniques de fabrication nouvelles. Adolescents initiés et adultes, chasseurs et guerriers, dignitaires religieux et guérisseurs, souverains et notables : filles nubiles, femmes mariées et jeunes mères arborent des parures de tête distinctes.
