To accompany the text , forty-seven outstanding Kaitag panels , representing the extraordinary variety of designs , colours and techniques which combine to create these great masterpieces , are presented on full colour plates. These also form part of a comprehensive catalogue of 171 examples , each illustrated in black and white , with a full description and technical analysis. The embroidery stitches are fully explained with diagrams , and many of the dyes have been analysed. This catalogue will doubtless serve as the definitive reference work on Kaitag art. Robert Chenciner is a Senior Associate Member of St. Antony's College , Oxford , and an Honorary Member of the Daghestan branch of the Academy of Sciences of Russia , and he has been studying textiles from a wide range of cultures for over fifteen years. He originally obtained permission to visit Daghestan in 1986 , and during six years of ethnographic fieldwork with his collaborator Dr Magomedkhan Magomedkhanov visited hundreds of villages. He found that many traditional customs have survived , and the local people helped answer various questions about the embroideries and their Usage.
