Beads of the World
ISBN: 9780887405594 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Beads are the oldest and most widespread form of art. They have been made from all materials in every corner of the globe. Their uses are innumerable. They do not just decorate people, but many other things as well.

The indissoluble link between Bernhard Shobinger's jewellery and the photographs by...
