Description
|
|
|
|
Embroidery in Afghanistan is varied, rich, and sumptuous. This book focuses on more than 30 pieces and explores the embroidery of different tribes and their geographic regions, setting them in their social and cultural context. Here are traditional costumes of men, women, and children, as well as embroideries for the home and yurt, domestic animals, and precious possessions. Gorgeously photographed, with full views of textiles and also thread-counting closeups, the book includes information on the decorative techniques, patterning, and stitching.
