CELTIC ART IN GAUL - Lot 186
CELTIC ART IN GAUL Collections of Provincial Museums. Marseille, Paris, Bordeaux, Dijon, 1983–1984. Quarto, paperback with a color-illustrated cover. A comprehensive exhibition catalog, richly illustrated with photographs, maps, survey plans, and archaeological drawings in black-and-white and color. Catalog of the traveling exhibition “Celtic Art in Gaul,” presented in 1983–1984 at the Archaeological Museums of Marseille, the Réunion des Musées Nationaux in Paris, the Musée d’Aquitaine in Bordeaux, and the Archaeological Museum of Dijon. The book offers a comprehensive overview of Celtic artistic production in Gaul, from the Early Iron Age through the heyday of the La Tène civilization. The catalog brings together a significant collection of objects from French public collections: torques, bracelets, fibulae, weapons, coins, ceramics, jewelry sets, and funerary objects. The detailed entries provide dimensions, provenance, dating, the museum where the objects are housed, and a bibliography. Several maps help place the discoveries in their archaeological and geographical context. The cover features reproductions of the torques and gold coins from the Tayac hoard (Gironde). This catalog retains genuine documentary value for the study of Gallic archaeology and Celtic art, being more scholarly than a simple catalog intended for the general public. Condition: very good copy. Clean cover with a few slight marks and signs of wear; interior is fresh, with no apparent notable defects. Original price printed on the back cover: 50 francs.
