Their weavings are full of symbolic elements and motifs that encode specific cultural information and their textiles are the repositories for knowledge that has been passed down through generations. Based on ethnographic fieldwork undertaken between 1979 and 1991, [book title] examines and compares regional weaving styles and discusses the general texture of highland life."--Back cover.
