This exquisitely illustrated volume features 150 works from the Los Angeles C ounty Museum of Art’s rich
holdings of Islamic art. The objects – including brilliantly glazed pottery, enameled and gilded glass, inlaid
metalwork, carved ornamental stone and wood, sumptuous woven textiles, and vividly illuminated and superbly
written manuscripts and single pages – span the area extending from southern Spain to northern India, and range
in date from the 7th century up to the modern era. Full-color plate images are accompanied by descriptions in
both English and Arabic, organized chronologically and thematically. Among the book’s essays is an illustrated
narration of the museum’s recently conserved Damascus Room. P ublished here for the first time, this stunning
room retains its original brightly painted surfaces. Beautiful and authoritative, this book is an essential guide to
global Islamic art
