"NORTH AMERICAN INDIAN DESIGNS explores the patterns used on textiles, carvings, pottery and basketwork by Indian tribes in the last 200 years. Although Indian art is defined as primitive, artists have shown great individuality and sophistication in their treatment of traditional motifs and patterns, and there are exciting discoveries to be made. An introduction discusses the historical and geographical background of the designs and the manner in which they are constructed. Some of the techniques used in basketing, weaving and embroidery are explained in diagrams."--BOOK COVER.
