This volume opens with a study of a black-figured amphora inscribed with the earliest preserved signature of the sixth-century B.C. Greek potter Andokides. Following are examinations of the coloring on a Cypriot sarcophagus; three small, probably Hellenistic, glass bottles and their uses; and a Roman sarcophagus. The Metropolitan's acquisition and conservation of linen and silk coat and leggings from the eighth- to tenth-century North Caucasus prompted detailed technical and historical studies. Articles identify the maker's mark on a fifteenth-century steel helmet, the original recipient of a Luca Signorelli Madonna, and the artist and subject of a watercolor of Weehawken, New Jersey. Also featured are two large groups of sixteenth-century architectural drawings presented together for the first time, Qing dynasty swords, and a Luluwa maternity figure in its aesthetic and sociopolitical context.

256 pages, 251 illustrations (5 in full color), 8 1/2 in. x 11 in. Paper.
