A wealth of information on ancient textiles is available from depictions such as sculpture, vase painting, figurines, reliefs and mosaics. Commonly represented in clothing, textiles are also present in furnishings and through the processes of textile production. The challenge for anyone analysing ancient iconography is determining how we interpret what we see. As preserved textiles rarely survive in comparable forms, we must consider the extent to which representations of textiles reflect reality, and critically evaluate the sources. Images are not simple replicas or photographs of reality. Instead, iconography draws on select elements from the surrounding world that were recognisable to the ancient audience, and reveal the perceptions, ideologies, and ideas of the society in which they were produced. Through examining the durable evidence, this anthology reveals the ephemeral world of textiles and their integral role in the daily life, cult and economy of the ancient Mediterranean"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aAncient textiles series. 606 $aTextile fabrics$xHistory 606 $aTextile fabrics, Ancient 606 $aTextile fabrics in art 607 $aMediterranean Region$2fast 615 0$aTextile fabrics$xHistory. 615 0$aTextile fabrics, Ancient. 615 0$aTextile fabrics in art. 676 $a677.009 702 $aHarris$b Susanna 702 $aBrøns$b Cecilie 702 $aZ?uchowska$b Marta 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910574869003321 996 $aTextiles in Ancient Mediterranean Iconography$92565404 997 $aUNINA
