Book Description
Excerpt from A Descriptive Atlas of the Cesnola Collection of Cypriote Antiquities, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Alambra terracottas, viz., that in their uniform type of a nude female figure they represent small models of a sacred image ofa goddess. Who that goddess was it may be impossible to say, but that her image as copied in the terracottas had been of an Oriental origin may be taken as fairly certain. That the figures are nude, grotesquely so, may in itself be no sign of Oriental influence, since in very early art it would be easier to make a nude than a draped figure. But why not also nude male figures? The answer is, a prevailing Oriental influence. And again. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
The Cesnola Collection of antiquities from Cyprus preserves the island’s artistic traditions from prehistoric through Roman times and represents the first large group of ancient Mediterranean works to enter the museum’s collection. This catalogue, which focuses on Cypriot terracottas, was originally published in 2004 as a CD-ROM, and is now available in a more accessible format. It contains nearly 500 works dating from between about 2000 B.C. and the 2nd century A.D. from one of the most expansive collections of Cypriot art in the world. Illustrations of each object are accompanied by a detailed catalogue entry, including a brief bibliography. In addition, fifteen commentaries make the catalogue a perfect introduction to Cypriot terracottas and the colorful world of ancient life and mythology.
