Description: This book is the result of recent research in the Lao People's Democratic Republic and Thailand. While the knowledge of the craft of textile weaving is fast disappearing, the textiles themselves are being removed from even the most remote villages to satisfy a worldwide public hunger for their collectible beauty. The pride of generations of women's labor, these textiles once represented great social, political, and religious powers, as the author's photographs and text reveal.
