Iryna Chechulina: In Lustrous Black, Gebunden

Klappentext

For the first time the Antikensammlung Berlin presents a systematic catalogue of its outstanding Attic black-glazed pottery, including products from southern Italy and Boeotia closely following the Attic model. Chronologically spanning the 6th to the 3rd century BC, the material is a source for understanding everyday life, an indicator of trade routes and a means of dating contexts. The volume combines detailed entries, drawings and new, excellent photographs for each of the highly aesthetic vessels. With an analytical section on production technology, typology and the distinguishing features of Attic and Atticising pottery, the book offers an indispensable reference tool and a comprehensive resource for archaeologists, scholars of ancient pottery and everyone interested in ancient ceramics.
