What is Weaving In Stones:: Garments And Their Accessories In The Mosaic Art Of Eretz Israel In Late Antiquity about?

Weaving in Stones: Garments and their accessories in the mosaic art of Eretz Israel in Late Antiquity is the first study to trace and document the garments and their accessories worn by some 245 figures represented on approximately 41 mosaic floors (some only partially preserved) that once decorated both public and private structures within the historical-geographical area of Eretz Israel in Late Antiquity. After identifying, describing and cataloging the various articles of clothing, a typological division differentiating between men’s, women’s and children’s clothing is followed by a discussion of their iconographic formulae and significance, including how the items of clothing and accessories were employed and displayed and their ideological and social significance. The book is copiously illustrated with photographs of mosaics and other artistic media from throughout the Greek, Roman and Byzantine world, with particular emphasis on the examples in Eretz Israel.
