A wonderful resource for researching historic pieces. From an online review: "The art of fusing colored enamels onto precious metals to make jewelery dates back to ancient Egypt, but in Byzantine art enameling was combined with precious stones on gold Gospel covers, reliquaries, plaques and altarpieces.
Items from all of these periods (Romanesque & Gothic too), are described and illustrated, revealing the amazing variety of styles and techniques invoived in this exquisite art!"
