A beautifully illustrated book exploring the art of Iran and
Central Asia from the 5th to the 2nd Millennium BC This richly
illustrated book explores the art of ancient Iran and Central Asia
between the 5th and 2nd millenniums BC, a time that proved to be
one of the region's most prolific periods. Over this period, the
first cities arise, strengthen their power and multiply, and
undergo continuous innovation. To serve this new world, items are
invented and artistry flourishes-jars for storage and
transportation of goods, prestigious weapons, jewellery, ceremonial
vessels and statuary. Exquisite photography and illustrations
throughout the book demonstrate the skilful design and wealth of
materials used to create such objects. Ancient Iran was rich in
minerals, while Central Asia had precious commodities such as lapis
lazuli, gold and tin. Showcasing the distinctive artistic output of
the region, magnificent objects from the Sarikhani Collection and
other collections come together in this illuminating book.
