Description

Original bdg. HC. Oblong large 8vo. In Turkish. 170, [1] p. Color ills. Discovered by chance during an urban infrastructure project, the Haleplibahçe mosaic was rescued in an excavation undertaken by the Sanliurfa Museum. It is one of the finest examples of mosaics from the East. Just beside the Halil-ur Rahman pool in the centre of Sanliurfa lie the remains of the Ancient Greek city of Edessa. The most Important of these are the colourful and skillfully-crafted "Haleplibahçe Mosaics". These are the first examples in the world of mosaics depicting Amazon warrior queens. This image, the technical and artistic elements of mosaics, and the fact that they were crafted using 4mm2 stones from the river Euphrates, have made them one of the world's most treasured mosaics.
