This publication is the catalogue of an exhibition mounted at the Abbott Hall Art Gallery in 1979. The catalogue entries, which are grouped by country (Afghanistan, Britain, India, Iran, Iraq, Scandinavia, Turkey, U.S.S.R.), concentrate on descriptions of color and design. Short chapters discuss the process of felt making: materials, tools, steps; archaeological evidence for early felt-making; literary reference to felt-making; felt coats; and common decorative motifs. Information is also provided about the dyes used in felt making. -- AATA
