It surely impressed the spectators then as it does the museum visitors today. Glazed Brick Decoration in the Ancient Near East comprises the proceedings of a workshop held at the 11th International Congress of the Archaeology of the Ancient Near East (ICAANE) at Munich in April 2018, organised by the editors. Over the last decade excavations have supplied new evidence from glazed bricks that once decorated the facades of the Ancient Near East's public buildings during the Iron Age (1000-539 BC) and especially significant progress has been achieved from revived work on glazed bricks excavated more than a century ago which today are kept in various museum collections worldwide. Since the latest summarising works on Ancient Near Eastern glazed architectural décors have been published several decades ago and in the meantime considerable insight into the subject has been gained, this volume aims to provide an updated overview of the development of glazed bricks and of the scientific research on the Iron Age glazes. Furthermore, it presents the on-going research on this topic and new insights into glazed bricks from Ashur, Nimrud, Khorsabad, and Babylon. 606 $aGlazed brick 606 $aPublic buildings 615 0$aGlazed brick. 615 0$aPublic buildings. 676 $a939.4 701 $aFugert$b Anja$01745004 701 $aGries$b Helen$01745005 712 02$aUniversita?t Mu?nchen, 712 02$aVorderasiatisches Museum (Berlin, Germany), 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910854296003321 996 $aGlazed brick decoration in the Ancient Near East: proceedings of a workshop at the 11th International Congress of the Archaeology of the Ancient Near East (Munich) in April 2018 : for the Vorderasiatisches Museum - Staatliche Museen zu Berlin$94175435 997 $aUNINA
