I guess living on a small island in the middle of nowhere with only annual jaunts into the 'real' world makes me hungry for the big city culture of art galleries and museums. Of all the catalogues I own, this is by far the most unusual. Most people, me included, have heard of the name 'Scythia' but wouldn't be able to relate it to anything in particular, let alone an empire of wheat-growing warriors in the area now known as Ukraine. The gold ornaments and jewellery they both made and commissioned reflects their attachment to animals and ornamentation and of the nomadic life style they loved (those that weren't growing wheat!) The photography is superb and the text is very detailed and a perfect complement to it. Highly recommended to lovers of art and ancient history. ( ) ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
Published in conjunction with the November 2000 through December 2001 exhibition, "Gold of the Nomads: Scythian Treasures from Ancient Ukraine", this volume presents the most important Scythian gold objects in Ukraine, many of which were discovered only in the last two decades. The nine essays, color illustrations, and maps of civilizations of the ancient world and excavation sites combine analysis of the 172 pieces with an overview of recent advances in our understanding of Scythian culture.
