Compiled by the eminent Georgian art historian Leila Khuskivadze, the volume serves as a comprehensive inventory of 227 enamel masterpieces dating from the eighth to the fifteenth centuries. Georgian and Byzantine cloisonne enamel holds a uniquely prestigious position in the history of medieval applied arts, distinguished by its intricate gold-wire framework, luminous translucent colors, and profound iconographic depth. The album meticulously details fragments, medallions, and reliquaries — most notably those associated with the legendary Khakhuli Triptych — offering deep art-historical analysis, stylistic comparisons, and high-quality color reproductions printed in Yugoslavia to ensure superior fidelity. While the print run of 25,000 copies made it accessible upon publication, finding complete copies today that retain both the original protective cardboard slipcase and the notoriously fragile laminated dust jacket is increasingly difficult. The factory lamination wrinkles on the jacket are a well-documented production feature of this specific print run, making this complete, clean specimen an excellent addition for collectors of Byzantine studies, medieval ecclesiastical arts, and the history of jewelry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44529641488426,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_6423.jpg?v=1783133860","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/khuskivadze-medieval-cloisonne-enamels-at-georgian-state-museum-of-fine-arts-srednevekovye-peregorodchatye-emali-1984-in-geo-rus-eng","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
