Description:

The Iron Age gold bracteate is a well-known archaeological material. The book presents the reader with a number of characteristic pictorial themes and analyzes of the development history of golden bracts in Scandinavia. Under the inspiration of Asger Jorn's artistic view of the pictorial world of bractheatres, they are seen as pictures in their own right. With the author's background in both art history and archaeology, he succeeds in building a bridge between two disciplines and completing an original and inspiring interdisciplinary study
