Ayia Paraskevi Figurines
in the University of Pennsylvania Museum
Vassos Karageorghis and T.P. Brennan
The 17 figurines published here are but a small
sample of the objects excavated more than 100 years ago at the Bronze
Age necropolis at the site of Ayia Paraskevi in Cyprus. Vassos Karageorghis
introduces the volume with an insightful essay on the significance
of the site and one of its early excavators, Max Ohnefalsch-Richter.
Terence Brennan contributes information on the history of the Museum’s
acquisition of these pieces based on a 12-year correspondence between
Sara Yorke Stevenson, one of the Museum’s early founders, and
Ohnefalsch-Richter. The volume contains a detailed catalogue of the
17 figurines, including bibliography and comparanda. |
