About This Antiquarian
Book |
This Antiquarian LONG OUT OF PRINT Antiquarian auction catalogue lists and describes 349 Lots, MOST of which appear to be illustrated, of an incredibly diverse selection of Classical, Egyptian and Asian Antiquities ! Included are -- animal, human and diety figures in several media; pottery jars, figurative and other vessels; amulets, idols, steles, oil lamps, sculptures and bas reliefs, numerous examples of ancient glass, seals, weapons, among MANY others!
Cultures / Countries of origin include -- dynastic Egypt, Greek, Etruscan, Corinthian, Attic, Cypriot, Apulian, Daunian, Roman, Holyland, Byzantine, Islamic, Luristan, Mesopotamia, Persia, Thai, China, Iron Age, Archaic, and MORE!
WOWSERS! I have been interested in most of these things since I was a teenager, but have rarely run across a source as diversified and well-illustrated with fabulous archaeological finds, cult items and cultural artifacts from the ancient classsical world!
When I was a kid, I would have many file folders according to subject, filled with pics and clippings in them of many of these things -- now days, without being a geeky genius, one can do the same thing, way better, on a computer, and not have to fish through several filing cabinets for the desired folder!
If you have already begun your own personal computer interactive relational database of these highly artistic and creative artifacts of the distant past, you will most certainly find MANY new items to add to it in this reference, both in fine photos and descriptive details -- as well as their values, which is very important when you might find a treasure at that local country / estate auction or yard sale / flea market -- it does happen! Lavishly illustrated ! Antiquarian Book in EXCELLENT+ Condition!! |
