Description:
Bangkok: White Lotus, 2001. This book explores the links between mythology and weaving of the island of Savu and examines how textiles have formed the fabric of Savunese society throughout time. Ikat weaving of Savu are exceptional in the sense that they act as markers of historical events. They have a heraldic significance and can be 'read' like a text. They also form a language expressing the socio-political structure of Savunese society. In this era of globalization and the resulting threat for small-scale societies it is the author's hope that this book will contribute to the protection of the work of traditional weavers and to the recognition of their unique cultural heritage. 167 pp., 40 pp. colour illustr. . First Edition. Soft Cover. New/n/a. 29 x 21 cm.
