Guide to a special exhibition on resist-dyed textile patterning held at the Museum für Völkerkunde and Schweizerisches Museum für Volkskunde, Basel, in 1953. The introduction classifies resist methods for cloth (folding, sewn/tritik, wrapping, tying/plangi, stencil, paste and wax/batik, negative resist with mordants) and for yarn (warp ikat, weft ikat, double ikat), with diagrams and notes on dyeing. A room-by-room catalog lists objects by region, followed by plates of textiles from Africa, Asia, Indonesia, Egypt, Peru and Europe. No weaving drafts are included.
