This book presents a panorama of glass production in the Ancient Orient, based on the Louvre’s collections from the Department of Near Eastern Antiquities. Receptacles, instruments, jewelry, architectural embellishments and an incredible diversity of works were created using techniques that were probably meant to imitate precious stones. The archaeological study is based on the results of physico-chemical analyses obtained from the LRMF (Research Laboratory of the Museums of France).
