Book excerpt: "In this remarkable aesthetic celebration of history and heritage, the acclaimed contemporary jewellery designer, Oytun Camcıgil presents a range of timelessly beautiful material gathered from a region that spans Turkey through to Central Asia and the lands of the Arabian peninsula. Here we find over 500 photographs of Ottoman, Turkmen, Omani, and Yemeni jewellery in their original forms, presented with authoritative text that gives a rare insight into the workmanship and purpose of the artworks. Also included is a section of Oytun's own creations - works which use a combination of tribal pieces and modern elements to create contemporary jewellery that can be worn in everyday settings. Eastern Treasures covers a broad geography and history and draws the material together to form a cohesive narrative, pointing the way to shared heritage and its crucial role in contemporary design. A beautiful photographic book for anyone with an interest in the ethnography of art and design"--Dust jacket front flap.
Book Synopsis The Royal City of Susa by : Musée du Louvre
Download or read book The Royal City of Susa written by Musée du Louvre and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 1992 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rich production followed of objects for daily use, ritual, and luxury living, finely carved in various materials or fashioned of clay. Monumental sculpture was made in stone or bronze, and dramatic friezes were composed of brilliantly glazed bricks. Among the discoveries are tiny, intricately carved cylinder seals and splendid jewelry. Clay balls marked with symbols offer fascinating testimony to the very beginnings of writing; clay tablets from later periods bearing inscriptions in cuneiform record political history, literature, business transactions, and mathematical calculations. A very important group of finds from Susa is made up of objects brought back as booty from conquests in Mesopotamia. These works, many of them the royal monuments of Akkadian and Babylonian monarchs - for instance, the great stele of Naram-Sin - are among the best known of all objects from the ancient Near East.

Book Synopsis The Treasures of Darkness by : Thorkild Jacobsen
Download or read book The Treasures of Darkness written by Thorkild Jacobsen and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1976-01-01 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " ... No one can plausibly deny that the religious development of the peoples of Canaan (and indeed of all the ancient world around the eastern Mediterranean to the Indus river) were affected by the cultural and religious developments in Mesopotamia, the centre of the region, and a fertile region second to none known in the world, on a par with the Nile, around which another major civilization arose. This is a text of history of Mesopotamia in its own right. By the time history gets back this far, the lines become very blurred, rather like parallel lines intersecting on the horizon. Literature, religion, archaeology, sociology, psychology -- all of these disciplines become intertwined in Jacobsen's text as he looks at Sumerian society. The book is organized with an introduction, then according to time divisions of fourth, third, and second millennia, then concludes with an epilogue into the first millennium, during which the Bible as we know it (and most ancient history such as is commonly known occurred) came to be"--Amazon.com.
Book Synopsis The Educational Heritage of Ancient India by : Sahana Singh
Download or read book The Educational Heritage of Ancient India written by Sahana Singh and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2017-08-03 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just a thousand years ago, India was dotted with universities across its length and breadth, where international students flocked to gain credentials in advanced education. This illustrated book describes how these multi-disciplinary centers of learning existed in several forms such as forest universities, brick-and-mortar universities and temple universities. It examines the funding for these citadels of learning and their graduation ceremonies. The process by which India’s ancient systems of education helped to fuel a knowledge revolution around the world with its manuscripts, forming the basis for monographs and academic papers, is explained with references. The marauding incursions by Muslim invaders, which disrupted the idyllic world of university learning in India, followed by European colonization, which led to further erosion and degeneration of India’s traditional learning systems, have been taken up in some detail. Readers will get a snapshot view of India's education system down the ages from ancient to modern times.

Each entry also explains that particular object's relevance for understanding the Bible and locates the artifact not only at its museum site but also by its specific identification number, which is particularly valuable for smaller and lesser-known objects - true "lost treasures.""--BOOK JACKET.
