The Gift Tradition in Islamic Art

The Gift Tradition in Islamic Art

by Linda Komaroff (Author)

Synopsis

The offering of gifts - state, religious and personal - is a practice nearly as ancient and widespread as human culture itself. This illustrated book explores the complex interplay between artistic production and gift-based patronage by discussing works of great aesthetic refinement that were either commissioned or repurposed as gifts.
