Synopsis:

Hilprecht's collection is important because it was put together at the turn of the century by one of the great names in Near Eastern archaeology, because he had documented the provenance and nature of the pieces, and because so many of the objects were from Anatolia, thus providing evidence for provincial bronze production of a type that is not well known or published.

The Hilprecht collection is not well known, yet it forms a cohesive group which this publication now makes available, taking advantage of the recent strides in the study of classical bronzes.

Synopsis: Catalogs the Hilprecht collection of bronzes at the museum. Entries on individual pieces include physical descriptions and notes on ancient symbolism and the piece's relationship with similar items in this and other collections. B&w photos of pieces are all grouped at the end of the volume. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
