This book, which includes many rare and antique examples, reveals the complexity and appeal of five centuries of ceremonial costumes and sacred textiles from throughout Indonesia's chain of tropical islands, introducing readers to the intoxicating and complex beauty of Indonesian cloth.
The Kahlenberg collection of exquisite ceremonial garments and sacred textiles from throughout the Indonesian archipelago and dating from the past five centuries is brought together here for the first time in book form.
Large, elegantly presented photographs show the textiles in incredible close-up detail and full expanse, making it possible to appreciate their technical brilliance and rich colors as well as the dazzling assortment of intricate patterns and motifs. Including essays by leading anthropologists and art historians, this book brings readers into a world ruled by the belief that weavings communicate with and transform those who come into contact with them.
