内容简介：

虽然有很多关于克什米尔披肩的书籍和文章，涵盖了它的历史和制造，但到目前为止，很少有关于披肩风格演变的最重要历史时期的书籍。本书正是基于作者30年来参与克什米尔披肩的最好和最罕见的设计，通过探索印度北部和山国的微型绘画，克什米尔手稿，斯里阿迪格兰特和贾纳姆萨基斯的锡克教圣经，以及世界收藏品中独特披肩的插图，埃姆斯以他一贯的爱好描述了这些定义锡克教时期的神秘图案的性质和来源。此外，纺织爱好者将在专门介绍莫卧儿时期，漆画和印度 - 波斯披肩影响和贸易的章节中发现新材料。

In this new, ground-breaking work, Woven Masterpieces of Sikh Heritage, Frank Ames' unique passion for the subject reveals the events and ideas that transpired within this Khalsa (Sikh Brotherhood) movement, transforming the Kashmir shawl to one of powerful ethnic proportions. During this era of Punjab's colorful history a variety of complex and enigmatic patterns emerged, some purely geometric, others symbolic, which have long eluded textiles experts. Maharaja Runjit Singh's takeover of Kashmir in 1819 had an extraordinary impact on the fashion of the legendary Kashmir shawl, giving rise to a major artistic expression in the subcontinent. Through the exploration of miniature painting of Northern India and the hill states, Kashmiri manuscripts, the Sikh Holy Scriptures of the Sri Adi Granth and Janam Sakhis, and illustrations of unique shawls from world collections, Ames describes with his usual penchant for exacting detail the nature and source of these enigmatic patterns that define the Sikh period. In addition, textile enthusiasts will discover new material in chapters devoted to the Mughal period, lacquer painting and Indo-Persian shawl influences and trade.
