Title: National Handicrafts and Handlooms Museum, New Delhi
Description: Mapin Pub. 1989. Pp: 221. The revised and updated catalogue represents the priceless collection of National Handicrafts and Handlooms Museum in New Delhi. Folk and tribal icons, narrative paintings, temple jewellery, textiles, everyday objects in wood, terracotta, cane and bamboo - all these are among the 20,000 and more items that establish the timeless tradition of Indian crafts. Catalogue groupings are made on the basis of materials used for the techniques followed, which is why a South Indian icon may be juxtaposed with a ritual mask from Himachal in the north. These links transcend barriers of time and region, forming a network of intriguing similarities. The Museum has made every effort to provide the larger social context within which a particular item takes its place, with an emphasis on continuity and not on antiquity. Both ancient and contemporaryworks are represented, reflecting the continuing traditions of Indian craftsmanship. ISBN: 9780944142233. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
