Abstract:
The rich tradition of Indonesian textiles goes beyond batik and ikat, arguably the most famous techniques developed in the archipelago, as the new publication Floating Threads: Indonesian songket and similar weaving traditions attests. This book is a feast for the eyes as well as informative. As the first of its kind to broach the subject of float weaves in Indonesia, it promises to be an important research tool for anyone studying Indonesian textiles
