Middle Eastern and Venetian glass beads

Description:

"This volume allows us to share the many years of impassioned, fruitful research that have allowed the author to select a grouping of Middle Eastern and Venetian glass beads found in Western Africa. BJ This text provides an in-depth analysis of the elements that make up a plurality of bead types, allowing us to achieve a synthetic reading of their technical, historical and - where present - symbolic characteristics."--Jacket.
