Originally published in 1949, this book contains a catalogue of the
Islamic metalwork that was in the collection of the British Museum
at the time of publication. The text is accompanied by a number of
photographic reproductions of key pieces and line drawings of some
of the intricate designs featured on the artefacts. Basil Gray, in
the introduction, argues that 'metalwork provides the most
continuous and best-documented material for the history of Islamic
art', and as a record of one of the country's most important
collections of such art this book will be of value to anyone with
an interest in Islamic art.
