Synopsis
This book delves into the captivating world of Hittite glyptic art, focusing on engraved objects like seals and amulets that offer valuable insights into this ancient civilization. The author emphasizes the importance of studying these artifacts not only for their artistic merit but also for their potential to date other archaeological remains and shed light on Hittite history. Spanning a vast period from 2000 to 600 BC, the book explores the evolution of Hittite glyptics across different ages, including the Primitive, Hattic, Moschian-Hattic, and Moschian-Assyrian periods. It delves into the complexities of dating and attributing these objects to specific regions within the broader Hittite area, which encompassed parts of Asia Minor and North Syria. The author meticulously analyzes the artistic styles and influences that shaped Hittite glyptics, drawing comparisons with Mesopotamian art and highlighting the impact of political and cultural exchanges. This book challenges existing assumptions about the chronology and origins of Hittite glyptic art, proposing a revised framework based on archaeological evidence and a deep understanding of the historical context. By examining the intricate details of these engraved objects, the author unveils the rich tapestry of Hittite civilization, its artistic achievements, and its enduring legacy.
