The ambers date from about 650 to 300 BC. The catalogue offers full description of the pieces, including typology, style, chronology, condition, and iconography. Each piece is illustrated. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The catalogue is preceded by a general introduction to ancient amber (which was also published in 2012 as a stand-alone print volume titled Amber and the Ancient World).

This publication highlights a group of remarkable amber carvings at the J. Paul Getty Museum. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This catalogue was first published in 2012 at museumcatalogues.getty.edu\/amber\/.
