Southeast Asian Books
 Silken Threads Lacquer Thrones: Lan Na Court textiles
by Susan Conway
In this book, Susan Conway traces the history
of the Lanna princes, their complex marital and political alliances with
the surrounding inland principalities and with Siam, China, and Burma. A
dramatic change in male court dress took place towards the end of the
19th century and acts as a metaphor for the political manoeuvres
resulting from colonial intervention in the region. The book also shows
how in such times, Lan Na princesses and their attendants continued to
wear indigenous dress demonstrating loyalty to the culture they
cherished.
