AbstractWhen Silk Was Gold is the catalogue for the first exhibition devoted exclusively to luxury silks and embroideries produced in Central Asia and China from the eighth to the early fifteenth century. Drawn from the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Cleveland Museum of Art, the textiles are remarkable not only for their dazzling display of technical virtuosity but also for their historical significance, reflecting in their techniques and patterns shifts in the balance of power between Central Asia and China that occurred as dynasties rose and fell and empires expanded and dissolved.Index:The Silk Trade in China and Central AsiaMorris RossabiMap of the Tang Dynasty and the Silk Roads, ca. 750Map of the Northern Song, the Liao, and Their NeighborsMap of the Southern Song, the Jin, and Their NeighborsMap of the Mongol Empire1.
