This volume examines stucco as a key medium of architectural ornamentation in Islamic Iran and neighbouring lands. It features articles that explore a range of sites, materials, and meanings from late antiquity through the Islamic periods. Drawing on disciplines such as art history, archaeology, conservation science, and aesthetics, the book offers new research and interdisciplinary approaches that expand current scholarship. The contributions range from focused case studies to broader methodological reflections. Originating from a 2022 conference at the University of Bamberg, the volume brings together scholars from Iran, Europe, and North America in a collaborative and wide-ranging inquiry.
The conference from which this publication originated was funded by the Fritz Thyssen Foundation.
The open access publication of this volume was funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) -project no. 399216810.
We acknowledge support by the Open Access Publication Fund of the Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg.
