Abstract:
During the late 19th century, the ceramics purportedly connected to the legendary Abbasid caliph Harun al-Rashid were excavated in Raqqa. This book describes the journey these ceramics took from discovery in Raqqa to the emporiums of Paris and New York, the drawing rooms of great collectors, and Metropolitan Museum of Art.
