A wide range of individual cultures are \"visited\" and their historic, cultural, and geographic specifics are explored. The survey in this book is based on a chronological structure, including an East-West geographic direction. This accommodates to position described artefacts of certain styles within time periods, cultures, and locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost of the existing literature related to cultures of the Eurasian steppe is specialised on one particular culture or one archaeological excavation. The book is written as a hypothetical journey through time and space, structured in an east to west direction. It provides a wide-reaching overview by placing the discussed artefacts into a cultural, geographic, and chronologic frame, particularly the thousand years between 500 BC and 500 AD. Artistic expression and style are a central theme to explore possible relationships between civilisations of the Eurasian steppe and their influence on medieval Central and Northern European creation of artefacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcademics in the fields of art history, archaeology, history, and fine arts will find this book compelling\/useful.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46931044040855,"sku":"9781032699899","price":12867.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781032699899.webp?v=1771610688","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-art-of-the-eurasian-steppe-its-influence-on-european-cultures-9781032699899","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
