Â ¶ First book to focus exclusively on the intricate embroidered textiles from the Ica and Nasca valley of southern coastal Peru.

Includes many previously unpublished masterpieces from the Early Nasca period, eg. life-size sections of the Cabildo in-process mantle border. Also considers ceramics and gold from museums and private collections around the world to document the techniques and style of Nasca needlework with scholarly descriptions of the stitches used (eg. three-dimensional figures worked in cross-knit looping).

	PETER F. STONE. Tribal & Village Rugs: The Definitive Guide To Design, Pattern & Motif. London: Thames & Hudson, Â ¶ An indispensable resource for all collectors and scholars of Oriental rugs and carpets. Drawing on the rich weaving traditions of the Near East and Central Asia, the clearly presented text is divided into six major regional and tribal groupings, covering Anatolian, Baluchi, Caucasian, Kurdish, Persian and Turkmen motifs. These are subdivided into more precise attributions and motif types, examining the derivations and uses of medallions, field repeats and borders, as well as the relationships between them. This detailed analysis of designs and their component elements provides a vital key to accurate attribution. Striking diagrams illustrate the way in which individual motifs may be adapted and reinterpreted over time, their evolution crossing historical, cultural and geographic boundaries. Lavishly illustrated, this study will not only be an invaluable aid to identifying the flourishing variety of tribal and village rug motifs, but will also create a new understanding of their extraordinary beauty and provide a treasure house of creative inspiration for designers of all kinds.

	PETER F. STONE. Tribal & Village Rugs: The Definitive Guide To Design, Pattern & Motif. London: Thames & Hudson, Â ¶ An indispensable resource for all collectors and scholars of Oriental rugs and carpets. Drawing on the rich weaving traditions of the Near East and Central Asia, the clearly presented text is divided into six major regional and tribal groupings, covering Anatolian, Baluchi, Caucasian, Kurdish, Persian and Turkmen motifs. These are subdivided into more precise attributions and motif types, examining the derivations and uses of medallions, field repeats and borders, as well as the relationships between them. This detailed analysis of designs and their component elements provides a vital key to accurate attribution. Striking diagrams illustrate the way in which individual motifs may be adapted and reinterpreted over time, their evolution crossing historical, cultural and geographic boundaries. Lavishly illustrated, this study will not only be an invaluable aid to identifying the flourishing variety of tribal and village rug motifs, but will also create a new understanding of their extraordinary beauty and provide a treasure house of creative inspiration for designers of all kinds.
