Description

The book is devoted to one of the most ancient strata of the age-old culture of Turkmenistan. The genuine masterpieces of the art of the Turkmen people astonish with the high skill of their creators and the undying beauty of their objects of gold, silver and bronze, as well as of elegant ceramic and stone statuettes, examples of fine bone carving, dynamic narrative compositions and mosaic ornaments. Almost all of them have been discovered in recent years at a single historical site. This is Gonur Depe — the former capital of the ancient country of Margush, or Margiana, and today a vast archaeological complex located deep in the Karakum Desert in the Mary Province of Turkmenistan.
