How to read Islamic carpets / by Denny, Walter B.,author.(CARDINAL)724242; Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, N.Y.),issuing body.(CARDINAL)147619;
Includes bibliographical references (page 141).Reading carpet technique -- Stylistic evolutions -- Tracing carpet history. The origins and early development of knotted-pile carpets ; Workshop carpets : commercial products and court designs ; Domestic carpets : village and nomadic weaving -- Reading carpet symbolism -- Beyond the Islamic world.Carpets made in the "Rug Belt" - an area that includes Morocco, North Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, and northern India - have been a source of fascination and collecting since the 13th century. This engaging and accessible book explores the history, design techniques, materials, craftsmanship, and socio-economic contexts of these works, promoting a better understanding and appreciation of these commonly seen and frequently misunderstood pieces. Forty examples of Islamic carpets are illustrated with new photographs and revealing details. The lively texts guide readers, teaching them "how to read" clues present in the carpets that allow them to deconstruct the history, techniques, significance and materials in each piece. Denny situates these carpets within the cultural and social realm of their production, be it a nomadic encampment, a rural village, or an urban workshop. This is an essential guide for students, collectors and professionals who want to understand the art of the Islamic carpet.

Salat in secret / by Thompkins-Bigelow, Jamilah,author.(CARDINAL)353025; Aly, Hatem,artist.(CARDINAL)352647;
"When Muhammad gets a special salat rug on his seventh birthday, he is determined to do all five daily prayers on time. But one salat occurs during the school day--and he's worried about being seen praying at school. His father parks his truck to worship in public places, and people stare at him and mock him. Will the same thing happen to Muhammad? From two powerhouse creators comes an empowering story about an important part of Islamic faith that many Muslim children cherish but might be scared to share." --AD530L
