| Meer info | This engaging book reveals that the ways in which gold, in turn, has shaped humanity are no less numerous. Since prehistory, for example, artisans have fashioned gold into ritual objects and high-status ornaments; beginning in the sixth century B.C., gold served as currency; and even in the modern era it has encouraged wars of conquest and triggered frantic gold rushes. Each chapter is devoted to one historical epoch, explaining how people of that time mined and refined gold, and how they used it for cultural and economic purposes. Two hundred gorgeous colour photographs illustrate golden objets d'art as diverse as the funerary masks of Tutankhamen; intricate Celtic jewellery; a figurine of El Dorado, a pre-Columbian chief said to ritualistically cover his entire body in gold dust; bejewelled medieval reliquaries and crucifixes; and even Gustav Klimt's gold-drenched canvas The Kiss. |
