The Origins of Khmer Ikat: in India, and Beyond($28.99Value)

Description

As so often happens in research, what one finds is not what one expected. Patterns from six of the world's great civilizations found their way into Khmer ikat. And some of those patterns are more than four thousand years old. Over 200 color photographs. This book was made possible by a research grant from the Victoria and Albert Museum (London), Karun Thakar Fund. It includes the author’s latest research (2026). We invite you to visit www.SinghaBooks.com for information about our other six books. None are available in Cambodia; if you’re planning a trip, order your books before you go. For Angkor we recommend Through the Eyes of a Queen – the Women of the Royal Court at Angkor , What the Queens Wore – the Silk of Angkor and The Origins of Khmer Ikat – in India, and Beyond . If you’re planning to buy silk (or if you are a collector), we recommend A Pocket Guide to Cambodian Silk .
