Embroidered textiles: traditional patterns from five continents : with a worldwide guide to identification

Trama

Embroidery has been practised for thousands of years throughout the world. In the West, traditions have been subject to trade and fashion, but across the continents of the less-developed world, embroidery continues to be rooted in ancient beliefs and superstitions. Photographs are supported by explanatory line drawings and maps which show the colours of the intricate designs.
