WAMRI - The Weaving Art Museum
Long before the invention of the modern loom, perhaps as early as the middle of the Neolithic period c.7000BC, extremely simple but highly functional warp weighted looms created patterned tapestries. The author, Siawosch Azadi from Hamburg, Germany, has been studying the Turkmen people and collecting historic examples of their weaving arts for almost 50 years. Turkmen weavings, like the Turkmen themselves, are as little understood today as they were at the end of the last century. It was at that time, circa 1875, the Czarist Russian government finally succeeded in conquering the various groups... Unlike the weavings featured in the previous four exhibitions, this show presents a Near Eastern textile tradition about which nothing has been published and little is known.

Guggenheim: Learning Through Art
In the 8th century BC, large-scale ceramic vessels were produced as grave markers. As these were originally decorated with just repeated angular patterns, the style became known as "Geometric" art. As time went by, small portions of the vessel might be filled with simple stick-figure people, often attending a funeral.
