“A wondrous number of data and visuals documenting 5,000 continuous years of bijou design.” —Booklist

This comprehensive survey combines a sumptuous display and documentation of hundreds of pieces of bijou with an illuminating discussion of the way myth, religion, social structure, economics, and politics have influenced jewelry design in India.

The book encompasses each and every area of the rustic, from sophisticated urban enclaves to isolated ethnic communities. Beginning with Paleothic body ornaments, the creator is going on to spot the emergence of major traditional forms, such as amulets, rosaries, marriage ornaments, temple jewelry, theatrical jewelry, and adornment for animals. The illustrations are drawn from private and non-private collections world wide, and line drawings depict traditional design forms and techniques. 870 illustrations, 220 in color.
