Product Description

Product Description
Lao Textiles and Traditions focuses on the historical and cultural background of the Lao-Tai who produce exquisitely woven textiles with rich natural dyes and intricately fashioned designs which have amazed and intrigued textile connoisseurs for years. This book tells the story of the people who created these masterpieces and who are still living lives intimately bound to their traditions and textiles. The creation and use of finely woven cloths is an integral part of the social and spiritual life of every Lao woman. By examining the uses of textiles in Lao culture, the links between their ancient traditions and their adaptation to the modern world can be seen, and the new textiles being woven today in Laos can be appreciated.
