The weaving of the Turkoman, Kirghiz, Uzbek, Karakalpak, Baluch, and Kazakh tribes is preserved in the leading Soviet museums — the Hermitage, the Russian Museum of Ethnography of the Peoples of the USSR in Leningrad, and the Museum of Oriental Art in Moscow. In this beautifully produced volume, Elena Tzareva, an internationally recognized expert from the Museum of Ethnography of the Peoples of the USSR, examines these collections in detail, analysing individually a wide selection of the exhibits, all of which are illustrated, most of them in colour. Since few of the carpets have ever been seen in the West, even by scholars, the publication of Rugs & Carpets from Central Asia is a major event and an extremely important contribution to the study of Oriental carpets and rugs.
