Figurines in Hellenistic Babylonia

Beschreibung

This volume investigates the impact of Greek art, particularly Hellenistic sculpture motifs and styles on the figurines of Babylonia after the conquests of Alexander the Great. It provides practical applications of two branches of anthropology theory, cultural hybridity and miniaturization, which are explored in detailed case studies.
