Beschreibung

29x20cm, 192 pp. "The first study of the tradition of weaving among the nomadic pastoralists of Rupshu in Eastern Ladakh. Weaving touches all aspects of life here, where both women and men weave. Local narrative states that the craft of weaving was bestowed upon Rupshu by the gods, and thus all feats related to it have a close connection to the sublime. What is certain is that the weaving skills of Ladakh, in common with those of the Tibetan cultural area generally, are of the highest aesthetic and technical standards" - Publisher's description.
