Eclectic collecting
art from Burma in the Denison Museum
by Alexandra Green
"This catalogue of the Denison Museum collection discusses theoretical approaches to the study of textiles, and examines in some depth the production and use of textiles by the Karenic, Chin, Kachin, Lahu, and Tai, and Wa minority groups, as well as ethnic Burmans, within the context of their histories and cultures. Vibrant photographs illustrate the distinctive designs characteristic of each population group and the production techniques they use." "The volume also examines lacquerware and Buddha images. In decorating their wares, lacquer producers in Burma use a number of distinctive techniques that are different from those found in East Asia."--Jacket.
