At the same time the reader is offered a fresh view at ancient art shown in contrasting juxtaposition. Essays by Rudolph P. Matthee, Cyrus Ala’i, Birgitt Borkopp-Restle, Paulina Banas, Michael Chagnon, Gary Schwarz, Jennifer Scarce, Claudia Swann, Susann Wintsch, and Axel Langer.”The Fascination of Persia” is published in conjunction with an exhibition at Museum Rietberg in Zurich (October 2013 to January 2014).
