Reviews
'Nagel's conceptualization of the topic of the use of color on the surfaces of architectural structures and rock reliefs is outstanding in that it is not limited in scope or method. It brings together archaeological evidence, scientific and technological analyses as well as the theoretical and ethical debates around each of them. He considers these along with historiographies of art history of the Ancient Near East, aspects of collecting antiquities in Western museums and the processes of subjecting them to cleaning and conserving in ways that were not always useful. This book is very timely now in that archaeology of the senses are gaining more attention, and materiality studies in both art history and archaeology are expanding.' Zainab Bahrani, Edith Porada Professor and Chair of the Department of Art History and Archaeology, Columbia University

Synopsis
In this volume, Alexander Nagel investigates the use of polychromy in the art and architecture of ancient Iran. Focusing on Persepolis, he explores the topic within the context of the modern historiography of Achaemenid art and the scientific investigation of a range of works and monuments in Iran and in museums around the world. Nagel's study contextualizes scholarly efforts to retrieve aspects of ancient polychromies in Western Asia and interrogates current debates about the contemporary use of color in the architecture and sculpture in the ancient Mediterranean world, especially in North Africa and the eastern Mediterranean. Bringing a multi-disciplinary perspective to the topic, Nagel also highlights the important role of theory, methodology, and conservation studies in the process of reconstructing polychromy in ancient monuments. A celebration of the work of painters, artisans, craftsmen and -women of Iran's past, his volume suggests frameworks through which historical and contemporary research play a dynamic role in the reconstruction of ancient technological knowledge., This book explores the use of polychromy in the art and architecture of ancient Iran. Focusing on Persepolis, he explores the topic within the context of the modern historiography of Achaemenid art and the scientific investigation of a range of works and monuments in Iran and in museums around the world.

- v***4 (111)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchasePurchased 5 car Madison rail car set at auction. Received package well wrapped and in original box. Cars themselves are in excellent condition and mostly as described, although I believe they have seen some track time. That being said, seller offers returns so I'm confident seller was told these cars were new by whomever he got them from. The purchase price was excellent so when averaged with a higher than normal shipping fee it turned out to be an overall good deal.
- D***-- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI have ordered a couple of magazines from this company and I absolutely would buy from them again. Having said that, the shipping company (DHL) TOOK 2 MONTHS + to get it to me. This delay in no way reflects the company from who it was purchased. Great price, excellent packaging and prompt communication.(D) #27D - RARE 1966 DRAG CARTOONS MAGAZINE BATMAN & ROBIN COVER PETE MILLARS (#387611465652)
- r***9 (832)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseAwesome price on this vintage Italeri kit. Seller shipped it quickly at an average cost. The kit arrived safely, very carefully packaged in brand new materials. It was delivered just as it appeared in listing and photos. It was listed as used but really new in an open box complete with the decals and instructions. The kit also included extras, an Edward Models PE detail set and Check Master's engine kit. I'm extremely pleased with my purchase and I highly recommend the seller. Thanks!
