SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Silver and gold jewelry counted among women's most precious possessions in the Byzantine and early Islamic eastern Mediterranean. Such adornments figure prominently in texts, and numerous examples have been found in recent excavations. Most scholarship on such jewelry focuses on the dating of individual pieces and on identifying centers of production; yet such studies are fundamentally frustrated by the objects themselves, which resist easy classification. In this dissertation, a different methodology is presented, which weaves together texts, objects, and visual representations to explore thematic issues, including concerns about appearance, the preservation and presentation of wealth, taste-making, and idealized beauty.
