Maggiori informazioni sul libro
The Horniman Museum has had a long-standing interest in former and present-day nomadic societies. Systematic collections of nomadic material culture from several parts of the world have been developed as a result of the Museum's collecting policy.The Asian collections include material from Mongolia, Tibet, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Iran and Turkey, and are particularly noteworthy for their tents; both trellis (yurts) and black-hair; and tent furnishings.This book uses the Museum's extensive nomadic collections, most of which have not previously been published, to give an introduction to the history and development of this fast disappearing way of life in Inner and Western Asia. The work is complimented by an appendix by Caroline Humphrey Inside a Mongolian Tent.
