Description
|
|
|
|
Cataloguing nearly 300 extraordinary objects of the 2nd millennium BC, this beautifully produced book examines art created for royal palaces, temples, and tombs across Mesopotamia, Syria, Anatolia, Cyprus, Egypt, and the Aegean. These tablets, weapons, amulets, figurines, vessels, carvings, jewelry, and ceramics—seen in 410 color and 50 black and white images—reflect the development of a sophisticated trade network throughout the eastern Mediterranean region and the resulting fusion of Near Eastern, Aegean, and Egyptian cultural styles.
