African Design: An Illustrated Survey of Traditional Craftwork

Nearly 200 handsome illustrations depict geometric patterns in ornamental basketry; repetitive motifs in fabrics; batiks and tie-dyed cloth; incised and moulded decorations on the exteriors of houses; beaded bags, belts, and boots; carvings on bowls, drinking vessels, door panels; and much else. An excellent reference for collectors and students of African art.
