| Yhteenveto: | "The fourth catalogue in a series that documents the renowned Cesnola Collection of Cypriot Art, this book focuses on the collection's 453 terracotta oil lamps dating from the Classical, Hellenistic, Roman, and Early Byzantine periods. The rich iconography on many of these common, everyday objects offers a rare look into daily life on Cyprus in antiquity and highlights the island's participation in Roman artistic and cultural production. Each lamp is illustrated, and the accompanying text addresses the objects' typology, decoration, and makers' marks while providing new insights into art, craft, and trade in the ancient Mediterranean."--Publisher's website. |
