About this Item

Symbols of Prehistoric Mesopotamia by Beatrice Laura Goff, published in 1963. Inscribed and signed by the author to a colleague who she thanks for helping. " In this monumental study, Beatrice Laura Goff presents a comprehensive survey of all the symbols used by the prehistoric peoples of Mesopotamia, from the earliest times to the invention of writing, in the creation of their pottery, seals, amulets, figurines, jewelry, and temple architecture. Dr. Goff develops a new method of studying symbols and applies it to the artifacts, tracing the character, the use, and the symbolic elements in the art of each period. Abstract art in early Mesopotamia, the role played by amulets in ritual texts, and the origin of Sumerian mythology are discussed. Hardcover with original jacket, light foxing and chipping to jacket corners and ends.
