内容简介

This rich treasury of traditional designs, developed by |ndian artists over

thousands of years, contains motifs distinguished by their intricacy and fanciful

nature. More than 200 black-and-white illustrations have been adapted by

Marry Noble from a diverse array of authentic sources, including ancient pottery,

mosaics, and illuminated manuscripts, as well as more recently created

embroideries and fabrics.

Here are finely detailed examples of Rangoli art (complex rituai motifs used to

decorate courtyards, floors, and walls of Indian houses); details from fresco

paintings; stencil designs; patterns from jewelry; tattoos; architectural decor

and metalwork; and designs in wood and ivory.

Perfect for artistic and design inspiration, these striking, permission-free motifs can be easily adapted for use in textiles and wallpaper, in furniture design, and in a host of other art and craft projects.
