The Jewelry of Southeast Asia.
RICHTER, ANNE. Stock ID: 64685 Lavishly illustrated with colour and black and white photographic plates, map, notes, bibliography, index, 304pp, excellent condition in a dustjacket, large quarto. In a tour de force of original research and synthesis, involving years of study and extensive travel throughout the region, Richter gives us the first comprehensive account of a tradition that stretches across the millenia from the vigour of Neolithic and Bronze Age art and animist religion to the present day, and reflects influences from the ancient Mediterranean, Western Asia, India and China. Magnificent gold jewelry of classical Cambodia and Java, a man's ruby-eyed dragon ring from Thailand, silver work of the Vietnamese court, filigree bridal necklaces of Sumatra ...... The more than three hundred pieces seen here, many hitherto unpublished, reveal a jewelry notable for its beauty and rich significance.
