A new approach to the study of a historic collection, \u003ci\u003ePrecious Material: The Arts of Metal in the Medieval Iranian World\u003c\/i\u003e is a comprehensive overview of the production of metal in medieval Iran. Although this is one of the most important collections in the world, the objects, some well-known but many more unpublished, have never been studied or published as an ensemble. This volume includes a presentation of the collection through the lens of its centers of manufacture, a full technical analysis, as well as the functions and contexts in which the pieces were used. Each object is fully described and illustrated in color with close-up or X-ray images, and many inscriptions have been translated and are included in the catalog entries. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Annabelle Collinet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1914983122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781914983122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gingko Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/19\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.50h x 9.61w x 1.26d","brand":"Annabelle Collinet","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44790173237503,"sku":"9781914983122","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e2e17957-fa21-41dd-ae0b-6acdd4d07434.jpg?v=1707288164","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/precious-materials-annabelle-collinet-9781914983122","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
