Hardcover. Condition: VG. Color illustrated dj with black text, orange clothbound boards with black text on spine. 205 pp. Color and bw illustrations. "The Shoowa people, a small tribe from the kingdom of Kuba, in what is now Zaire, have been designing and making beautiful textiles for hundreds of years. These intricate designs,… in bold earthy colors, have had a variety of uses - as a type of currency, as dowries, as status symbols, shrouds, and even as religious vestments when Catholic missionaries first came to Kuba in the sixteenth century. The Shoowa tribe has not been closely examined by ethnographers and its embroidery is known only to a few collectors. The surviving examples have become highly prized by museums and private collectors all over the world.".
