- "Nine essays explore issues of conservation as well as cultural and historical significance of various objects in the largely unpublished collection of Norma Jean Calderwood Collection of Islamic Art. Topics include the influence of calligraphic line and physical gesture on Safavid drawings; figurative imagery on Iranian ceramics; and what cobalt pigment reveals about an object's origins."--The Publisher.
