Publisher's Synopsis
The authors examine the visual representation of power and kingship in Egypt, the Levant, and Mesopotamia and the exchange of images and ideas among these cultures. L.D. Morenz writes about the iconography of the Assyrian Broken Obelisk and its possible Egyptian relations and both authors analyse seals and other archaeological artefacts from the Kingdom of Edom with regard to Assyrian and Egyptian influences, to name just two out of eight contributions written either by L.D. Morenz, by E. Bosshard-Nepustil or by both.
