Photographs and text describe art treasures of the Sumerians, Babylonians, Persians and other people of the ancient Near East. Shirley Glubok now turns to the art of the lands mentioned in the Bible to present further insight into the spirit and nature of ancient peoples. A collection of fine photographs set artfully against color-blocked backgrounds accompanied by brief descriptions make this a sound introduction to ancient art and life. The author relates the art objects to the culture and historical background of the Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians and others. Often, a discussion of the artist's methods and use of materials is introduced.
