Superbly illustrated with more than 150 specially commissioned colour photographs, this book beautifully demonstrates the dazzling strengths of Morocco’s crafts – a centuries-long tradition which intermingles influences from both Black Africa and Islam, and from the spectacular cultural alliance of the Moors and the Spaniards. This pioneering account, based on the author’s own first-hand research, examines vibrantly coloured textiles, jewelry, leather, wood and metalwork and an enormous variety of pottery and ceramics. Complete with guidance for collectors and a uniquely revealing analysis of the belief systems, festivals and ceremonies to which the arts relate, this book by the leading scholar in the field will be invaluable to collectors, designers and all those looking for original decorative ideas.
Dr James F. Jereb has devoted many years to the study of Morocco and
its traditional arts. He is an artist who works in paint, print and stone,
and is the creator of ‘Stardreaming, Temples of the Cosmos’, a 22-acre
sacred stone temple labyrinth complex in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
