Dalton, O.M. THE TREASURE OF THE OXUS WITH OTHER EXAMPLES OF EARLY ORIENTAL 
METAL-WORK. London; The Trustees of the British Museum: 1964. 3rd. edition. 
The first edition of this important work was published in 1905, and 
featured the "Oxus Treasure", a horde of ancient Achaemenid silver and gold 
which had been discovered in the 1870s. The second, expanded edition, 
published in 1926 added a substantial quantity of early Iranian, mostly 
Sassanian, gold and silverwork from the Museum's collections, which was all 
carefully described. That edition also featured Dalton's "masterly" 
introductory essay placing the collection into the context of Achaemenid 
art and history. This third edition retains Dalton's text, with a few minor 
additions and corrections, but features a completely new set of 
photographs, making it the preferred and definitive edition of the catalog. 
Hardcover. 8.5"x11", lxxvi + 75 pages, plus 41 b/w plates; dj; 
bibliography; a nice, clean copy. [08050] $250.00
