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."--Publisher description. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 264-270) and index. 505 0 $a The geography and archaeological history of ancient Iran, and its connections to Central Asia -- Iranian painted pottery in the 5th Millennium BC -- Objects from Iran, 3rd to early 2nd Millennium BC -- Objects from Central Asia, last third of the 3rd to early 2nd Millennium BC. 610 20 $a Sarikhani Collection. 610 20 $a Sarikhani Collection $v Catalogs. 650 0 $a Art, Ancient $z Iran. 650 0 $a Art, Ancient $x Private collections $z Iran $v Catalogs. 650 0 $a Art, Ancient $z Asia, Central. 650 0 $a Art, Ancient $x Private collections $z Asia, Central $v Catalogs. 650 7 $a Art, Ancient. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815925 651 7 $a Central Asia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01240497 651 7 $a Iran. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204889 710 2 $a Sarikhani Collection, $e contributor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117030330.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=074324285F0811ECA70E6FDD2BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
