James Opie covers the weavings of the nomadic and village-dwelling peoples of Iran, Afghanistan, Turkey, the Caucasus, and Central Asia, and describes the ancient roots of tribal weaving and the significance of their common patterns and traditions. In his discussion of the origins of tribal weaving, he follows the history of ancient and traditional designs to the present, and provides illustrations with diagrams that enable the reader to identify the relationships between the patterns and their makers.
