Library Journal This beautiful publication, accompanying an exhibition at Kunsthal Rotterdam, was inspired by the collection of van der Star (Ethnic Jewellery from Africa, Asia and Pacific Islands), whose criteria are personal taste and jewelry quality. For these 250-plus pieces, created in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, van der Star includes details of construction ranging from dimensions and weight to function and area of origin. Many of the objects are religious in nature or reflect myths and cultural values, and a good balance of technical and ethnographic information is maintained with essays by experts on the dress, language, and customs of different minorities. Other topics addressed are textiles from China and the history of silver and gold in Asia. This book, more comprehensive than others covering particular dynasties or geographical areas, is touted by the publisher as the only one to analyze metallic content. Its more than 400 illustrations are outstanding. The emergence of China as a modern-day power experiencing corresponding development and loss of ethnic tradition contributes to the recommendation of this book for larger public libraries, academic libraries, and specialized art history and jewelry-related collections.-Sylvia Andrews, Butler Univ., Indianapolis Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

"In thirty years of travel and passionate research, Rene van der Star has collected and catalogued with philological rigor an exceptional collection of silver jewellery from the most remote villages of China, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, and Tibet." "The pieces in the Van der Star collection, which are presented in this volume with a selection of extraordinary ethnic fabrics, are unique for their beautiful shapes and exquisite craftsmanship. The focus on the ethnographic context in which these objects were produced gives this collection special documentary value, brought to light by the essays of the authors who contributed to this publication."--BOOK JACKET
