Ancient Indian Costume c3.7

c3.7

Mrs Roshen Alkazi has made a detailed study of ancient Indian costume from the earliest times to the end of the Gupta period. She has ransacked jewels and costumes from one end to the other of our great subcontinent giving a number of sculptures and supplementing them with drawings specially prepared to explain each variety. She has described in detail every sketch that is given and the photographs that illustrate her large and liberally illustrated volume. She has studied the various areas, classified and given maps to show the vast range of the Indian subcontinent. She has patiently worked on this for quite a long time and it is indeed a pleasure to see that she has come to the end of her devoted work to make available her fine book *Ancient Indian Costume* which I am sure will be welcomed by all lovers of Indian culture.
