Iuvelirnoe iskusstvo i material'naia kul'tura. Sbornik statei (Jewelry art and material culture. Collection of articles)
St. Petersburg: Herm, 2017. Pb. This book draws on a conference at the Hermitage in 2015 and earlier unpublished research. The subjects of articles reflect the encyclopedic nature of the Hermitage collections: for example, masterpieces of jewelry art from Central Asian grave finds; Mongol gold and silver finds; images of boar hunting on gold buckles originating with steppe craftsmen of the first and second centuries from Peter the Great's Siberian Treasure; attribution of an Italian chalice of the 14th c. Jewelry as a genre is interpreted broadly to include works from gemstones and fine metals. 207 p., 26 cm, approx. 200 b/w illus., 50 color, Rus. Item #2257
