Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethnic Jewellery from Indonesia: Continuity, Creativity and Evolution is a compelling introduction to the little known visual power and beauty of the body adornments used by the myriad peoples of Indonesia s outer islands, including Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi, Sumba and Maluku. Illustrated with more than 500 rare pieces that have been accumulated since the 1970s by collector Manfred Giehmann, the book explores the depth and breadth of an ancient and magnificent tradition, revealing the fruits of careful documentation that has taken place over a period of decades. It will provide information on the origin, meaning and purpose of the jewellery items, as well as unique insights into the people who crafted and wore the jewellery for ritual or ceremonial functions. Ethnic Jewellery: Continuity, Creativity and Evolution is a definitive work on the subject and a testimony to the greatness of a fast-disappearing Indonesian tradition."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book commemorates the remarkable gift of over 400 works from the collection of Barbara and David Kipper to the Art Institute of Chicago. These outstanding pieces of jewelry and ritual objects offer a material record of vanishing ways of life. Used as portable forms of wealth, as personal adornment, and in religious practice, they represent a broad spectrum of cultures. The majority comes from the Himalayan region, including Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, and Mongolia, and other pieces hail from Afghanistan, China, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. The catalogue showcases stunning works--including delicate amulet boxes, other Tibetan Buddhist artifacts, and ornate Turkmen jewelry--through dramatic photography undertaken specifically for this publication. With five essays placing the objects in the contexts of their native regions, Vanishing Beauty offers a beautiful presentation of creativity and craftsmanship from across Asia.

Book excerpt: The catalogue shows textiles and jewelry from the Indonesian archipelago. Forty pages (bilingual) introduces the reader to the rich cultural history of Indonesia followed by a discussion of rites de passage, birth, initiation, marriage and death. The captions explain the ritual and symbolic meaning of each textile and jewelry during these stages of the life cycle. Within each subject we move from east to west. The text pays tribute to the magic of women: to their beauty, their skills, and their knowledge. Women not only beget the next generation; they also protect it during all phases of the life through their language of magic symbols. The Wereldmuseum is renowned for its large, historical collection of textiles from Indonesia. It is complemented with textiles and stunning gold and silver jewelry from private collections in the Netherlands, Belgium and the United States.
