About This Item
Seattle WA: Pacific Search Press, 1982. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. Hardcover, burgundy boards stamped in gilt, in a lightly worn, price-clipped dust jacket. 234 pages, b&w illustrations. Describes the origin of the Chilkat or Dancing blanket and provides detailed information on materials, spinning, dyeing and weaving techniques. The Chilkat Dancing Blanket is the life story of a magnificent woven robe which graced the shoulders of Indian nobility from Yakutat, Alaska to Vancouver Island, British Columbia. From the legendary origins of this weaving, the story unfolds to tell of the women who wove it, of the source and inspiration for the designs which adorn it, and of the pride and esteem in which it was held by the society which gave it birth. The Dancing Blanket was a robe reserved for ceremony. The remarkable photographs of Tony Hunt performing the Headdress Dance afford a rare opportunity to see this blanket in its full glory, alive and dancing. No markings. Record # 378640
