Iconographers normally use texts, either to locate the narratives
that are illustrated in the images they are studying, or to deepen
their understanding of the cultural milieux in which those images
were produced. There are indeed some iconographers who would argue
that, without texts, iconography is impossible. Are we then unable
to study the iconographic themes of cultures that have left us few
or no textual records? Some of the contributors to this volume have
responded directly to this question, while others have expanded the
terms of debate; but all the essays in this book will be found
pertinent by art historians, archaeologists and anthropologists who
are faced with the problem of interpreting visual artefacts that
have become divorced from the cultural contexts in which they once
had meaning.
