Soft cover. Zustand: New. 122 pages : illustrations (chiefly colour), map ; 23 cm. This publication takes the readers on a journey to ancient China. It not only serves as a guide to the world of splendid silks, but also invites the readers to immerse themselves in early Chinese culture. During the Han dynasty silk weaving achiev…ed a high standard. Some of the motifs represent a heavenly realm of immortality that the Han people hoped to reach, while embedded inscriptions literally give voice to a request for eternal bliss. The Abegg-Stiftung holds such an object that was once the upper part of a dress. Tailored from blue inscription silk, it bears a unique prayer for immortality.
