About This Antiquarian
Book |
This LONG OUT OF PRINT Antiquarian auction catalogue lists and describes 795 Lots, of an un believable assemblage of Pre-Columbian, African, Classical, Near and Far Eastern Antiquities ! Included are -- pottery vessels (pots, bowls, cylinder cups, storage containers, oil lamps, etc. -- many zoomorphic), cuneiform tablets; Buddha and other deity, human and animal figures / sculptures; amulets, GOLD jewlery, tools, woven textiles, weapons, santos, first class relics, plumed headdresses, erotica, votive and ancestral figures, masks, bas relief panels, ancient glass artifacts, among MANY others!
Cultures / Countries of origin include -- more than half of this fine reference contains pre-Columbian and African items from -- Chancay, Mochica, Chavin, Tairona, Maya, Colima, Yaka, Dogon, Baule; Japan, India, Thai, dynastic Chinese, Tibet, Roman, Egyptian, and MORE!
WOWSERS! Turning this exceptional catalogue over, we find the extensive listings for classical, Egyptian, and Asian antiquities contained in a second auction sale held on another date in late December of 1998 --
Everything from ancient glass, terracotta, bronze, wood and stone figures, erotic amulets, intaglio seals, jewelry, weapons, Persian miniature manuscript pages, friezes, stellae, Buddhas, and LOADS more --
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! If you have already begun your own personal computer interactive relational database of these highly artistic and creative artifacts of the 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 auction or yard sale -- it does happen! Lavishly illustrated ! Antiquarian Book in EXCELLENT+ Condition!! Return to |
