Reviews
The impeccable credentials of two British experts-University of Wales professor Dransart, author of Earth, Water, Fleece and Fabric (2002), and the British Museum's Wolfe-define the subject of, and explain the illustrations used in, this informative guide. Using the collection of the British Museum as their main inspiration, the authors set the stage by identifying the geography and time line on which they focus their survey of Andean textiles (Colombia to Chile, 200 BC to the late eighteenth century). Those unfamiliar with loom and off-loom weaving are treated to brief descriptions of color, techniques, and structure, along with a narrative about the division of labor and rites of passage for weavers. This overview leads to examples and item-by-item descriptions (date, 'title, ' size, geography, description, and short commentary). Textile freaks and artists, enjoy!

Synopsis
In the world of the ancient Andes, textiles were often the most valuable commodity people possessed--far beyond gold and silver--and they were a major medium for conveying critical cultural meaning.

Examples of contemporary Andean textiles complement the early pieces and illustrate the continuity of weaving traditions in the Andes. - Detailed photos show each textile in full - Glossary of technical analysis for designers - Authoritative introduction by an expert in the field provides a context for appreciating and enjoying the superb and varied designs, In the world of the ancient Andes, textiles were often the most valuable commodity people possessed--far beyond gold and silver--and they were a major medium for conveying critical cultural meaning.
