3000 Decorative Patterns of the Ancient World
3000 Decorative Patterns of the Ancient World Description
Well over 3,000 designs are shown here in what is perhaps the richest design resource, page for page, in the entire range. Flinders Petrie was responsible for some of the most famous archaeological discoveries of the nineteenth century: this is his attempt to classify by design or motif, a vast range of images from the beginnings of civilization. From heroes and lions to sphinxes and animals, from arabesques and triskeles, to dragons and natural forms, this book contains both naturalistic and ornamental/formal designs in an incredible array. Other featured images: suns and moons, spirals, geometric, shields, twisted circles key patterns and mosaics. All are presented line drawings that give the essence of the design for an artist to develop and recreate in your own way.
