First edition. 4to, 163 pp, bound in illustrated wraps. Profusely illustrated in color. A Book & Tackle Staff Pick. "Social Fabrics looks at tirazhighly prized textiles enhanced with woven, embroidered, or painted inscriptions in Arabicto trace the structure of medieval Egyptian society during a transformative period. It reveals a story as interwoven and complex as these delicate objects themselves. A foundational introduction to the topic, this exhibition catalogue combines richly illustrated entries with essays on the history of Egypt at the time, the meaning and materiality of tiraz, and the history of collecting these objects in U.S. institutions. Created throughout the region (including lands now in Iran, Iraq, and Yemen) in the centuries following the Arab Muslim conquest of Egypt, inscribed textiles were a visual form of communication in a society that was ethnically, linguistically, and religiously diverse. Those with inscriptions regulated by the government were particularly valued, proclaiming their owners' membership in the ruling elite. Mary McWilliams served as the Norma Jean Calderwood Curator of Islamic and Later Indian Art at the Harvard Art Museums (19982021); Jochen Sokoly is associate professor of art history of the Islamic world at Virginia Commonwealth University, School of the Arts, Qatar." -From the publisher.
