Weavings of Nomads in Iran Mushkat Fred
- This is the first book devoted exclusively to the hand-woven bands made by the nomadic peoples of Iran- The publication features many previously unpublished weavings of great art-historical and anthropological importance There is a rich tradition of hand-woven bands made by the nomadic pastoralists of Iran. No study of nomadic life and weavings in Iran is complete without them. They have a large and detailed design vocabulary and were executed using weaving skills that were not exceeded by any other weaving tradition.
These bands carry a large repository of motifs that may be a source of archaic design elements. Among Qashqa'i tribal weavers in particular, the warp-faced bands used to attach loads to pack animals were a key symbol of their nomadic life. Bands illustrate a connection between and among groups of nomadic pastoralists, as great distances may have separated their ancestors
