Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book comprehensively explores ancient and antique jewelry pieces by examining their use across various ancient cultures and by analyzing the socio-economic impacts and meanings behind the designs. The author, an esteemed jewelry historian, spans from the early development of Sumerian jewelry-making techniques to the grand expressions of adornment seen in the art of the Roman Empire. This book positions antique jewelry as a reflection of the culture that produced it by examining it as an extension of personal expression beyond mere embellishment. Beyond the crown jewels of royalty, the book studies the symbolism and use of jewelry in the context of religion and magic. It also investigates the role of jewelry in the social structure and the status hierarchy of ancient societies, offering insights into the different materials used and their associated cultural meanings, from the carnelian scarab of the Egyptians to the amber necklaces of the Scythians. This book will delight jewelry enthusiasts and historians alike, offering a well-rounded understanding of ancient jewelry as significant cultural relics, not merely aesthetically pleasing objects. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781332760237_0
