Resplendent Dress from Southeastern Europe A History in Layers
Language: English
Published by Fowler Museum at UCLA, 2013
ISBN 10: 0984755047 ISBN 13: 9780984755042
Seller: Powell's Bookstores Chicago, ABAA, Chicago, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Illustrated. Minor shelf wear. Else a bright, clean copy. In the past, girls from rural southeastern Europe spent their childhoods weaving, sewing, and embroidering festive dress so that upon reaching puberty they could join the Sunday afternoon village dances garbed in resplendent attire. These extremely colorful and intensely worked garments were often adorned with embroidery, lace, metallic threads, coins, sequins, beads, and, perhaps most importantly, fringe, a symbolic marker of fertility. Over time new forms of dress were added so that by 1900, a southeastern European village woman's apparel consisted of millennia of layered history. Even today this dress continues to be worn on festive occasions and by older people in rural areas. Lavishly illustrated, Resplendent Dress from Southeastern Europe features fifty stunning nineteenth- through twentieth-century ensembles from Macedonia, Croatia, Albania, Montenegro, and neighboring countries, plus one hundred individual items including aprons, vests, jackets, and robes. Elizabeth Wayland Barber traces this twenty-thousand-year tradition of dress in fascinating detail.

The Mummies of Ürümchi
Seller: Wombat's Book Nook, Yarraville, VIC, Australia
Seller rating 2 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Good. Paperback Edition. A fascinating **Paperback Edition** of E. J. W. Barber's 'The Mummies of Ürümchi', published by Pan in London in 2000. This compelling book delves into the groundbreaking discovery and meticulous excavation of a group of astonishingly well-preserved mummies, interred around 1000 BC in what is now Chinese Turkestan (Xinjiang province). The project was shrouded in mystery, a quality that pervades the narrative. Notably, all the mummies were found intact, with some even retaining their internal organs, an exceptional feat of natural preservation. Perhaps the most significant revelation was their Caucasian ethnicity, a finding that dramatically challenges previous theories regarding the demographic history of this region prior to the arrival of the Chinese and Mongols. This edition is likely illustrated with photographic plates and maps, common for a work of this archaeological significance, though a specific illustrator is not credited. The book is offered in **Good condition**.

Prehistoric Textiles
Language: English
Published by Princeton University Press, US, 1993
ISBN 10: 069100224X ISBN 13: 9780691002248
Paperback. Condition: New. This pioneering work revises our notions of the origins and early development of textiles in Europe and the Near East. Using innovative linguistic techniques, along with methods from palaeobiology and other fields, it shows that spinning and pattern weaving began far earlier than has been supposed. Prehistoric Textiles made an unsurpassed leap in the social and cultural understanding of textiles in humankind's early history. Cloth making was an industry that consumed more time and effort, and was more culturally significant to prehistoric cultures, than anyone assumed before the book's publication. The textile industry is in fact older than pottery--and perhaps even older than agriculture and stockbreeding. It probably consumed far more hours of labor per year, in temperate climates, than did pottery and food production put together. And this work was done primarily by women. Up until the Industrial Revolution, and into this century in many peasant societies, women spent every available moment spinning, weaving, and sewing.The author, Elizabeth Wayland Barber, demonstrates command of an almost unbelievably disparate array of disciplines--from historical linguistics to archaeology and paleobiology, from art history to the practical art of weaving. Her passionate interest in the subject matter leaps out on every page. Barber, a professor of linguistics and archaeology, developed expert sewing and weaving skills as a small girl under her mother's tutelage. One could say she had been born and raised to write this book. Because modern textiles are almost entirely made by machines, we have difficulty appreciating how time-consuming and important the premodern textile industry was. This book opens our eyes to this crucial area of prehistoric human culture.
