The art of metalworking has been practiced continuously ll over the
world. In this, the Islamic world is no exception. But if we look
at the objects unearthed at archaeological digs or in the museums
and private collections that have patiently collected them over the
centuries, one cannot help but be surprised by the almost infinite
quantity of materials, shapes and decorations created both by
renowned artists and anonymous craftsmen. Metalworking is a highly
important and characteristic sector of Islamic art, and the
diffusion of these works in contexts other than where they
originated is highly significant evidence of this fact. There can
be no doubt that these artefacts were produced by a highly-advanced
and structured society whose boundaries and remarkable technical
expertise we are still unable to place in wider contexts, most
notably historical and social. Prof. Giovanni Curatola took the
objects in the Aron Collection as a cue for a meticulous
comparative study of medieval Islamic metalwork, making this book a
fundamental addition to the literature on the subject.
