Öz Western Asiatic Jeıvellery is a nicely illustraled, well-arranged and concise book. Each chapter deals with a specific period and area, such that it is pos- sible through the neatly organized bibliography to see just how deeply the au­ thor has göne into the subject. No doubt we benefit from her personal observa- tions and first-hand expericncc in dealing with this type of material. New photographs of old material is particularly welcome.Criticisms of this study come hard since the author States in her prcface that this book is a general survey which naturally involves “much compressi- on and (she is) conscious of many lacunae”.
