Opis

A beautifully illustrated book on a fascinating and distinctive class of Celtic metalwork, which ranges from the fifth to the eleventh century, this represents the culmination of a lifetime of research by the leading scholar on this subject, and is the only fully comprehensive account cataloguing the bowls from across Britain and Europe. It also includes new research by Dr Bruce-Mitford's co-author, Sheila Raven, on the little-known collection of bowls found in rich Viking burials abroad

Recenzje

The book is a fitting memorial to Dr Bruce-Mitford whose contribution to early medieval archaeology...was immense... an important publication and we should be very grateful for the author's work and the splendid realisation of it by Sheila Raven.
