About the Book

The preservation, care and storage of beadwork present considerable and specific concerns to the conservator, and many are described and discussed in detail in 'Ethnographic Beadwork'. The book assembles thirteen papers on significant and fascinating aspects of the technology and conservation of beadwork, describing artefacts originating in Europe, Africa, India, South East Asia and North America, and highlighting the diversity of materials from which beads may be made, from stone, glass and clay to modern materials. The articles include papers and posters presented at a seminar held by the Conservators of Ethnographic Artefacts. Impeecably researched and edited and beautifully illustrated, 'Ethnographic Beadwork' will be an invaluble addition to the specialist's reference library.
