●内容简介——

来自萨巴赫收藏的几个世纪以来中东和地中海地区的银器和其他贵重物品的丰盛调查。

位于科威特的萨巴赫收藏馆是壮观的古代银器和其他贵金属制品的收藏地之一。从公元前4世纪中叶亚历山大大帝征服伊朗和巴克特里亚之后的几个世纪，本目录中美丽的碗、酒器、盘子和其他物品表明，一些希腊化银制品不是在希腊的中心地带制造的，而是在塞琉古帝国的这个东部前哨。玛莎-L-卡特将这些从希腊北部到兴都库什的遥远地区联系在一起，追踪连接其不同地理和人民的共同文化线索。目录的一部分由Prudence O. Harper撰写，涉及一组重要的萨珊银器和宝石，以及随后几个世纪为匈奴人和突厥人制作的一些其他稀有物品。该目录附有一篇由Pieter Meyers撰写的关于古代银器生产技术的文章，他对这些物品进行了一些科学测试，包括一项新的冶金分析，可能有助于确定其地理来源。

A sumptuous survey of silver and other precious objects originating over several centuries in the Middle East and Mediterranean, from the prestigious al-Sabah Collection

The al-Sabah Collection, Kuwait, houses one of the world's most spectacular collections of ancient silver vessels and other objects made of precious metals. Dating from the centuries following Alexander the Great's conquest of Iran and Bactria in the middle of the 4th century BCE up to the advent of the Islamic era, the beautiful bowls, drinking vessels, platters and other objects in this catalogue suggest that some of the best Hellenistic silverwork was not made in the Greek heartlands, but in this eastern outpost of the Seleucid empire. Martha L. Carter connects these far-flung regions from northern Greece to the Hindu Kush, tracing the common cultural threads that link their diverse geography and people. The last part of the catalogue, by Prudence O. Harper, deals with an important group of Sasanian silver vessels and gems, and some other rarities produced in the succeeding centuries for Hunnish and Turkic patrons. The catalogue is accompanied by an essay on the technology of ancient silver production by Pieter Meyers, who has performed a number of scientific tests on the objects, including a new metallurgical analysis that may help to identify their geographical origins.
