Sling Braiding of the Andes
by Adele Cahlander
This book examines the four-sided braiding techniques used to create herding and ceremonial slings in the pre-Columbian Andes. Working with Elayne Zorn and Anne Pollard Rowe, Adele Cahlander explores braiding methods that remained a mystery to textile scholars until the late 1970s.
The authors present a classification system for these Andean braiding techniques and provide clear, step-by-step instructions for creating hand-held braids, illustrated with photographs and line drawings.
