This is a comprehensive account of the contents of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford which houses one of the most representative collections of Bronze Age Cycladic art outside Greece. The book also contains the results from scientific and technical examinations of the works of art.
The Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, contains one of the best and most representative collections of Bronze Age Cycladic art outside Greece. Much of this was acquired by purchase or gift in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries through the interest of Sir Arthur Evans, the eminent archaeologist, at that time Keeper of the Museum. The first comprehensive, fully illustrated account of the contents of this internationally significant collection, it includes
results from new scientific and technical examinations of these outstanding works of art of marble, metal, stone, clay, and shell. In addition to over 30 marble figurines it includes such unique items as metal models of the longboats which played an important part in the life of the islanders of the Greek
Cyclades before the invention of the sail. Publication of this book has been made possible through the generosity of the Mortimer and Teresa Sackler Foundation.
