这本插图精美的书通过深入的研究，带领读者踏上探索南亚次大陆纺织品的历史和传统之旅。

印度丰富多元且充满活力的纺织传统具有非凡的技艺水准。本书取材于在世界范围内皆属精良的印度纺织品收藏，对来自印度各个角落、跨度达几个世纪的艺术品进行了引人入胜的概述。每一章节考察了不同的地区，以揭示其独特的纺织传统、图案和工艺：产自古吉拉特邦的帕托拉丝绸（Patola silks）、保存于西藏寺庙中的彩花细锦缎（lampas）织物、出口至印度尼西亚的抗媒染棉（mordant resist dyed cottons）、穆尔希达巴德（Murshidabad）地区制作的丝绸莎丽（sari）以及孟加拉邦和旁遮普邦的乡村刺绣。

本书还深入探讨了几个世纪以来纺织品在日常生活中所扮演的角色。从家用与陪嫁纺织品到为贵族或富人定制的宗教仪式用品，其中收录了大批罕见的古董。

This magnificently illustrated and deeply researched volume takes the reader on a journey throughout the Indian subcontinent to explore the history and traditions of its textiles.

India's rich and vibrant textile tradition boasts an enormous range of techniques and extraordinary level of artistry. Drawn from one of the world's finest collections of Indian textiles, this book presents a fascinating overview of several centuries of artistic production from every corner of India. Each section examines a different region to reveal its distinct textile traditions, patterns, and processes: Patola silks from Gujarat, lampas weaves preserved in Tibetan temples, mordant resist dyed cottons exported to Indonesia, silk saris from Murshidabad and embroideries from rural Bengal and Punjab. The book also delves into the roles that textiles have played in daily life over the centuries, from household and dowry textiles to devotional pieces and exquisite materials crafted for rich patrons. Each object is photographed from multiple angles and reproduced in meticulous detail. Many of the antique pieces featured here are exceedingly rare, which makes this book an invaluable resource. Gorgeously illustrated, this volume makes a stunning gift for anyone interested in the history and craftmanship of one of the world's oldest textile traditions.
