Tell Halaf Im Krieg zerstörte Denkmäler und ihre Restaurierung (German Edition)

When the Tell Halaf Museum was destroyed during an Allied air raid in November 1943, Max von Oppenheim's archaeological collection was thought to have been irretrievably lost. Archaeologists and conservation experts have now restored over 30 sculptures and stone artifacts from the first millennium BC recovered from the ruins to their former glory. This richly illustrated volume presents the restored objects in detail for the first time and describes the work on one of the most fascinating conservation projects carried out by the Berlin Museums.
