Book excerpt: "Since the pieces shown are representative of the arts and cultures of the ancient world from Italy to Persia and cover a period of more than three thousand years, the entries in this catalog have been arranged in broad geographical and chronological groupings. Further, an attempt has been made in each entry to provide some general background about the peoples who made the objects, and the times in which they lived. Each of the objects in the exhibition is illustrated in the catalog. In selecting comparative materials, the emphasis has been on pieces readily accessible in American institutions, particularly those in the New York and Boston areas."--Preface, p. 9.
