Woven Wonder:the Tradition Of Indian Textiles

Indian textiles have a glorious tradition going back about fifty centuries, nourished by the creative and innovative energies of its craftsmen. Up to the 18th century no other country in the world produced such an abundance and variety of textiles. This book traces the story of Indian textiles. Lavishly illustrated with colour photographs, including those of rare museum pieces, this book encapsulates one of the greatest of Indian achievements.
