These dynamic centuries encompass the transformation of the Greco-Roman world into the nascent kingdoms and medieval states upon which most modern European nations are based. But the choices of jewelry and other forms of personal expression amongst the lower classes in ancient times is notoriously difficult to contextualize for a number of reasons. Nonetheless, these precious articles were expressions of individual identity as well as signifiers of one's rites of passage. As such, they reflect not only the people who wore them, but also the social milieu and artistic trends impacting their lives at that moment in time. This new study assists in identifying the types, origins and routes of transmission of personal artwork, particularly finger rings, across Europe and Byzantium from late antiquity to the late middle ages, an area of study that has been neglected in previous works. Some of this material represents the first time relevant research from Central and Eastern Europe has been translated and made available to the general reader in the English speaking world"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Jewelry, Medieval $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a Rings $z Europe. 650 7 $a ART / History / Medieval. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a ANTIQUES & COLLECTIBLES / Jewelry. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Jewelry, Medieval $x Themes, motives. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00982615 650 7 $a Rings. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01098014 651 7 $a Europe. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245064 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117032051.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=074218085F0811ECA70E6FDD2BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
