Description
Many cultural relics have been unearthed in Xinjiang, China, including clothing, leather boots, accessories and living utensils, especially from the Silk Road that appeared after the Han Dynasty (Over 2200 years ago) in China. The unearthed cultural relics reflect the cultural exchanges between China and the West. In this book, some artifacts unearthed in China belong to the Wei and Jin dynasties (Over 1600 years ago) are displayed for the first time, including Cloud pattern-painted boots, Embroidered Pillow, Color striped pillow, Green inverted triangle patterned cloth bag, Colorful fabric sachet, Embroidered cylindrical silk gloves, Children's woolen long coat, Red woolen socks, White woolen dress and so on. It is very meaningful for us to understand the clothing culture and textile craftsmanship about 1600 years ago in China. In addition, the methods and materials of conservation for the ancient leather and textile are introduced, for instance, how to solve the problems of hard deformation of unearthed leather and lack of fabric; how to reinforce the decreased fiber strength; how to remove a large amount of pollutants from buried environments. We hope to share our experience and jointly protect precious cultural heritages throughout the world through international exchange and cooperation. With the help of this book, more people can learn about China's glorious history and unique culture.
