Lime green cloth boards with gilt lettering; black glossy DJ with illustration and green and white lettering; xviii, 305 pp.; 81 unnumbered pages of plates; richly illustrated. "This volume considers the art of the Scythians of the northern littoral of the Black Sea, as that art was expressed in gold, silver, bronze, and bone. Appearing by the seventh century B.C. at the edge of an expanding Hellenic world, the history and art of the Scythians must be considered within a context that recognizes the sources of Scythian culture in the Eurasian Steppe as well as the historical contingency of West Asia and the Greek colonies...This volume offers substantial bibliography relating to the extensive research on Scythian art, archeology, and history, published in the Russian and Ukranian languages over the last 150 years." -- DJ.
