Drawing on the author's own experience investigating the art and science of metallurgy, this book guides readers through the history of gold. It shows us gold over the millennia as coinage, jewelry and ornamentation, high-status vessels, and grave goods; as gifts of distinction, and as radiant symbols in rituals of magic and worship.
