The Ancient Throne The Mediterranean Near East And Beyond From The 3rd Millennium Bce To The 14th Century Ce Dana Brostowsky Gilboa Editor by Dana Brostowsky Gilboa (editor), Liat Naeh (editor) 9783700185567, 3700185561 instant download after payment.

The volume features studies focusing on specific thrones known from historical texts, artistic depictions, or excavations, or that offer an overview of the role of thrones from as early as ancient Mesopotamia in the 3rd millennium BCE to as late as Iran and China in the 14th century CE. Its diverse articles all present thrones as a meaningful category of material culture, one that may inspire both inter-cultural and intra-cultural insights on how types of chairs may embody or induce notions of kingship and a range of concepts pertaining to the religious, ideological, and social spheres.Table of Contents
