Hard Cover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: new. First Edition. This is the first study of the tradition of weaving among the nomadic pastoralists of Rupshu, in eastern Ladakh. Weaving touches all aspects of life in Rupshu, where both women and men weave, each on a different loom. Local narrative states that the craft of…weaving was bestowed upon Rupshu by the gods, and thus all activities related to it have a close connection to the sublime. This book documents and analyses the ways in which fibres, weaving, and textiles are symbolised, constructed, and experienced in Rupshu where themes such as gender, kinship, hierarchical and spatial relations find ready expression through the design and making of cloth. Through her work the author traces the relationship between livestock, weaving, social and symbolic structures in order to understand the multitude of contexts within which wool-oriented activities exist. Richly illustrated, this book will appeal to those with an interest in textiles, nomads, gender studies, and the Himalaya. 192 pp., 9 b&w and 178 colour plates, 3 maps. WINNER, TEXTILE SOCIETY OF AMERICA'S 2003 'SHEPP AWARD' FOR BEST TEXTILE PUBLICATION. Size: 30 x 21 cm.

A short biography of a contemporary Buddhist painter/Erberto Lo Bue. 9. Recent painting traditions of Ladakh Central Tibetan styles in Far Western Tibet/David Jackson. Index. Situated in the high desert reaches of the Himalayan and Karakoram mountain ranges and frequently presented as a remote and isolated part of the world Ladakh has actually been a crossroads for the transmission of goods and ideas for at least a thousand years. From the 10 century it was an independent country ruled by the Buddhist Namgyal dynasty until 1834 when it was annexed by the Dogras the Hindu rulers of Jammu. Well into the 20 century Ladakh was a key staging post on Central and South Asian trade routes and the region hosted visitors hailing from Srinagar to Yarkand. This cosmopolitanism is reflected in the arts and material heritage where indigenous Ladakhi expression is often intermixed with Tibetan Kashmiri and Central Asian elements. Some art forms display considerable continuities with the past while others are distinguished by the unique cultural practices of subregional communities such as the textiles of nomadic pastoralists inhabiting the Northeastern parts of Ladakh. This is the first volume to combine essays on the history and ongoing production of art in Ladakh and to recognize both Buddhist and Islamic contributions to the cultural environment. Drawing on recent research in the region this book covers subjects ranging from the analysis of key sites and prominent contemporary artists through to the interpretation of metalwork jewellery and textiles. The essays are written by internationally acknowledged experts from a broad spectrum of disciplines including historians and anthropologists. Richly illustrated this publication will appeal to those with an interest in the Himalayas art Buddhism and Islam. 124 pp.

The first major study of the subject, aimed at an academic as well as a general readership? Illustrated with superb images collected over the years by the authorsKashmir has an enduring claim to the attention of lovers of beauty, with its breathtaking landscapes. It is also home to the Kashmir shawl, which at its finest was among the most exquisite textiles ever woven, the product of consummate artistry and skill applied to Pashmina, one of the most delicate fibres in the world. More than that, for at least three centuries, the shawl's excellence and worth made it the center of a huge and complex commercial operation involving, in its heyday, tens of thousands of people, and extending from Tibet to the marts of west Asia, Europe and America.Coveted by Mughal emperors and Sikh maharajas, Iranian nobles, Armenian merchants, French empresses, British aristocrats and, eventually, the prosperous bourgeoisie created on both sides of the Atlantic by the Industrial Revolution, it inspired any number of imitations, but none that could even approach the delicacy and charm of the original.This is the first major study of the subject, aimed at an academic as well as a general readership. The objective is to combine a well researched and accessibly written text with carefully chosen illustrations that will complement the text and bring it to life.
