In much of the world, embroidery continues to be rooted in ancient beliefs. This beautifully illustrated book examines in detail the fascinating symbolism of the motifs and embroidery patterns on textiles worldwide.Each example – Chinese court embroidery or Japanese kimonos; Indian saris or Turkish textiles; Ghanaian banners or Moroccan cushion fabric; Native North American or Mexican needlework – bears its own distinctive designs. The global range is as astonishing as the variety of materials and motifs on display.All aspects of the subject are covered – key regional items, cuts, fabrics, stitches, mythological symbols, religious and spiritual symbols – protective or merely decorative embroidery. Hundreds of colour photographs and drawings illustrate this dazzling array.Complete with a glossary, dictionary of embroidery stitches, further reading, where to see public collections and help on how to collect textiles, this is an unrivalled guide for anyone interested in textiles, costume or needlework crafts.
