Tomb Treasures of Han China
Edited by James C S Lin and published in 2012 jointly by Yale University and the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge Condition Report: This book appears brand new. I doubt that it has even been opened, much less read. The book itself appears perfect without any discernible faults whatsoever. Although the dust cover is in an excellent condition without creases, folds, wear or significant marks, there are a few minor surface blemishes commensurate with careful handling. "During the last two centuries BC, the Western Han dynasty of China forged the first stable empire covering all of China and presided over a golden age that shaped much of subsequent Chinese art and culture. I n an effort to preserve their legacy of beauty and power, the Han created elaborate tombs containing exquisite artistic treasures intended for use in the afterlife. The finest of these treasures to have survived include exquisite jades, bronzes, and ceramics, found in the tombs of the Han imperial family and of a rival "emperor" of Nanyue. Many of the items, including warrior statues, dancing figures, and priceless jewels—intended to ensure protection, entertainment, and continued wealth and status, respectively—are brought together for the first time in this stunning publication. Featuring newly commissioned photography and essays by leading scholars, this sumptuously illustrated catalogue presents a ground-breaking account of the finest treasures from the Han dynasty. " This is a beautiful book in every sense. A heavyweight book weighing in at over 2kg with 356 pages of stunning photography and matching prose. The original retail bookshop price was £70.00. The asking price includes careful protective packing and onwards posting by Royal Mail (Second Class).
