These textiles are now threatened with extinction in their original form, but survive in the contemporary commercial re-creations of Tunisian weavers. In exquisite color, 35 plates of both flatwoven kilims and knotted carpets display authentic examples of the traditional textiles and with printed overlays, identify many of the orally preserved motifs. In black and white, 82 figures include photos of spinners and weavers, illustrations of weaving and knotting techniques, the looms and tools employed, and details of patterns and motifs.
