Beskrivning

The Maikop Treasure consists of more than 300 objects ranging in date from the Bronze Age through the Medieval period, currently held in four institutions-the Staatliche Museen, the Museum fur Vor- und Fruhgeschichte in Berlin, the Penn Museum in Philadelphia, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Originally assembled in the 1890s by a wealthy employee of Tsar Nicholas II, these objects have no single provenance but were dug from various sites in the general region of the eastern Pontic. Publication was supported by a grant from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation.

Recensioner i media

"Magisterial!"-Michael Vickers, Ashmolean Museum "Fascinating and important."-TLS "Leskov's Maikop Treasure is not just a beautifully compiled catalogue of a significant group of items from various periods offering a study of Northern Caucasian art but also the successful attempt of an experienced scientist to compile in a few pages the history and context of a culture little known so far to international scholarship... It offers to the public a unique collection of an extraordinary culture."-Bryn Mawr Classical Review
