520 1 $a"The Etruscans, whose culture flourished in Italy from the late eighth century B.C.E. to the first century B.C.E., produced some of the most sumptuous bronze and silver mirrors found in the ancient Mediterranean. Among these, mirrors with relief decorations on their reverse sides are extremely rare - only sixteen surviving examples are known - and are uniquely Etruscan. Their designs inform us about artistic style and supplement our understanding of Etruscan culture and taste. The subjects illustrated on the mirrors give important insights into mythology, beliefs, and cultural values, filling the vacuum left by the loss of most of the Etruscan literary record." "Discs of Splendor is the first detailed scholarly study of these splendid examples of Etruscan sculpture and metallurgy. Alexandra Carpino catalogs them and places them in archaeological, art historical, epigraphic, visual, and literary contexts. She refutes past assumptions that the mirrors' iconographies may have been copied from now-lost Greek originals, showing that the relief mirrors actually display either specifically Etruscan interpretations or imaginative modifications of Greek visual and literary material. In addition, she contends that the relief mirrors served both as objects of prestige and as grave goods, citing as evidence their varied themes - including birth, healing, abduction, friendship, and immortality."--BOOK JACKET.
