Mo-jo Kuo (1892–1978)

This catalogue from an exhibition of Chinese artefacts that was held in the 1970's is a fascinating insight into the early culture of China. It covers items and history from the Palaeolithic until the 14th Century AD. There is a chronology, bibliography and map. All of the described objects are pictured, mainly in black and white with some colour plates. All of the objects were excavated in the twenty years prior to the exhibition and thus also provides an insight into the efforts of Chinese archaeologists to uncover and share their past. Overall this was a glimpse into the past that seems well researched and leads me wanting to know more about this part of the world and its history.… (altro)
