Celebrates the earliest history of the Islamic worlds great textile traditions through fifty beautiful carpets and fragments The fourth volume in Thames & Hudson's celebrated series cataloguing the alSabah collection, this book features a unique collection of carpets and textile fragments from the preIslamic and early Islamic world. The Sasanian fragments fill a substantial gap in the early history of pile carpets, dating from the second to the eighth century AD, and make a valuable contribution of the understanding of local artistic traditions.The second half of the book is devoted to postSasanian and Sogdian silks dating from the sixth to the tenth century. A wave of these beautiful textiles has reached the West since the turn of the 21st century, and here they are divided into variants featuring birds, mammals and mythological creatures, which retain their glowing colors and lively charm. 60 color illustrations
