DESCRIPTION: Hardcover: 364 pages. Publisher: Harry N. Abrams. Inc. 1987) Beads have been used throughout the ages and in virtually every culture. Not simply as adornment but to express social circumstances, political occurrences, and religious beliefs; as a form of currency; or as symbolic embodiments of curative powers. And they're colorful, made of various interesting materials, and can be combined in endless configurations. With more than 100 crisp color photos and intelligently written text that reaps the benefits of the author's 30 years of research, The History of Beads documents bead styles and uses in Europe, the Americas, Africa, and the Far East. Ranging from prehistoric times to the 20th century, this book stops along the way to consider the magic eye bead, prayer beads, and beads with other special attributes. An eight-page color gatefold section offers a fascinating timeline of the bead's history at a glance. Bead devotees can satisfy their curiosity about their medium of choice and draw inspiration for their own creations from the beautiful photos of necklaces, collars, bags, headdresses, and other beaded ornaments.

The origins of bronze-working in China are mysterious and deeply rooted in ancient Chinese myths. Metallurgy in all its forms seemed miraculous to the ordinary man. And every object, sword or vessel, was thought to possess a spirit of its own. Those who worked with metals seemed to be wizards with supernatural powers, all the more so because the melting operation was preceded, accompanied, and followed by religious ceremonies, exorcism, and magic rites. Mario Bussagli describes the background to the production of Chinese bronzes in fascinating detail. And explains the significance of the different types of ritual vessel and the symbolism of the stylized decoration. The fine illustrations include objects from the Shang, Chou, Han and T'ang periods, and each is described fully in the accompanying notes. CONDITION: LIKE NEW.

Six ... moreyears before the American Civil War began. This great antique map will make a wonderful display piece– it measures 15-1/2 by 12-1/2 inches and it shows the entire area of Palestine, from Galilee down to Judea. There are literally hundreds and hundreds of details in this map- towns and villages. Lakes and rivers, mountains and roads. The entire land of Palestine is beautifully hand-colored, its various regions distinguished by different pastel shades of color. Surrounding Palestine, left uncolored to distinguish the boundaries, but also in great detail, are the lands of Idumea(or Edom) Bashan, Coele Syria, etc. This map is filled with historic areas. Both exotic and familiar: Zebulon, Land of the Philistines, Samaria, Asher, Issachar, Gad, Manasseh, Idumea, Henicia, Ammon, Judah, Simeon, Naphtali, Reuben, Ephraim, the Mountains of Moab, the Dead Sea, and many. Many individual towns and cities, And at the bottom of the map. There is a very detailed inset map of the City of Jerusalem. This map is very finely detailed. With even the tiniest detail sharp and clear. Such incredible detail work was only possible because the map was made from a finely engraved metal plate. It was produced first as a black-and white engraving, and then was meticulously hand-colored. This was the usual method of producing colored plates of any sort before the advent of printed color. The famous wildlife engravings of Audubon and others were produced in exactly the same way, starting as uncolored engravings which were later hand-colored. The coloring in hand-colored plates, including maps such as this one, is much more vivid and“alive” than printed color, and this map will display beautifully. The light pastel

The Secret of the Hittites" returns to the startling panorama of the author's first book. Gods, Graves, and Scholars" in the continued examination of the most ancient world known to man. Since the publication of C. W. Ceram's famous first work, a new discovery of enormous significance transformed the perception of ancient history. The darkest archaeological riddle of the Orient is on the verge of an ultimate and improbable resolution. And this with dramatic suddenness in the space of a few momentous years. The mysterious ruins discovered in central Turkey in 1834 were perplexing. Yet no one was willing to ascribe them to the Hittites, a people given scant acknowledgement in the Bible and dismissed as a minor Syrian tribe. It was not until 1880 that a hero of archaeology advanced the dynamic theory that there had once been a mighty Hittite Empire stretching from the Black Sea to Damascus. By 1910, only archaeologists and historians had begun to gain a faint and fragile knowledge of its lost history. Furthermore. Only in the years since 1946 has there been any hope of reading the fantastic Hittite hieroglyphic inscriptions, and only recently has anyone actually done so. Finally, almost twenty centuries after Christ, we know that twenty centuries before Christ the Indo-European Hittites descended into Asia Minor. We may now establish a third great empire beside the Babylon of Hammurabi and the Egypt of Ramses II read the first fragments of a profound unknown literature, of which Mr. Ceram provides stirring excerpts.
