About the book >.>.> The title of this book succinctly intimates what it is all about-textiles in Bali. It is concerned pre-eminently with the manufacture use and significance of various textiles which reflect the island’s great cultural richness and diversity. We have never ceased to be fascinated by the way in which tangible objects here-namely cloths and textiles of every kind-can become infused with a life of their own. Nor have we ceased to be intrigued by a manner of handling such textiles which while using their materiality as a medium never makes it an end in itself. Nevertheless this book has material origins without which it would never have come into being namely the renowned collection of Bali- nese textiles in the Basel Museum of Ethnography where two of the three authors are curators.
