"Understanding the phenomenon of combining human and animal elements into composite creatures is central to our knowledge of the Greek imagination. This landmark book is the first to investigate representation of these human animals in early Greek art, (750 - 450 BC). More than 100 exquisite objects - many published for the first time and all beautifully reproduced in color- are described and analyzed in detail. Among the featured works are reliefs and statuettes in stone, bronze, and terra cotta; jewelry and metalwork in gold, silver, and electrum; engraved seal stones in rock crystal, jasper, and carnelian; and painted ceramic vases from Athens, Corinth, Rhodes, Miletos, Cyprus, and Etruia."
This book is in great condition. If you hold this book in the light just right you can see a little scuff mark on the front cover. Otherwise, I see no flaws. Please see photos to confirm condition.
