Pravina Shukla.  The Grace of Four Moons : Dress, Adornment, and the Art of the Body.  Indiana University Press 2008 Hardcover in DJ Very Good/Good, some wear to dj Quarto 498 pp

"The Grace of Four Moons aims to document the clothing decisions made by ordinary people in their everyday lives. Based on fieldwork conducted primarily in the city of Banaras, India, Pravina Shukla conceptualizes and realizes a total model for the study of body art--understood as all aesthetic modifications and supplementations to the body. Shukla urges the study of the entire process of body art, from the assembly of raw materials and the manufacture of objects, through their sale and the interactions between merchants and consumers, to the consumer's use of objects in creating personal decoration."
