Continuing a series of major exhibitions exploring the artistic legacy and material culture of Genghis Khan and the twelfth- and thirteenth-century empire of the Golden Hoard, the Hermitage and ten other museums and private collections exhibited and publish here 318 works deriving from Asian and European civilizations that shared in the Pax Mongolia.

All are important visual documents on a vast area from the Near East to Central Asia and Mongolia. Nicely photographed images show in full-page illustrations and in details from different angles the extraordinary range of techniques and styles in various genres — ornamental sculpture, metalwork, ceramics, jewelry, glass, costume. The introduction and detailed catalogue entries elaborate on such themes as how new urban areas arose as the fruit of trade; which towns became centers of crafts and arts; the mobility of equestrian civilizations and dissemination of the works of art and artifacts they procured or produced. 498 p., approx. 500 color illus., Rus. and Tartar with title page and summary in ENGLISH.
