2011rif. 157534In English. Hard cover 28x25 cm 296 pp. 170 images; net weight 2110 gr. ISBN: 978-960-6878-37-4. For many centuries the chest was the only piece of storage furniture to be found in the Greek home. Highly valuable as a functional item its connection with a wide range of everyday events and the most important stations in a person’s life birth marriage and death gave the chest at a very early date a more profound symbolical meaning in the imagination of the Greek people. Using this observation as their starting point the authors of the book go beyond the systematic presentation of the general typological features of Greek chests and their local variations. Drawing on rich seams of Greek folklore and the fruits of many years of field research in every corner of Greece they offer an in-depth interpretation of the wealth of decoration found on chests in the hope of providing a key that will unlock the secrets of these forgotten pieces of furniture and draw out the treasures of the Greek psyche that lie concealed within them. . . ================================================ IMPORTANT: The shipping cost in not included in the price.
