History Of Iraqi Silver (Its Major Craftsman And Their Work)
Book with more than a thousand Iraqi silver antique pieces. According to the introduction in the book. The majority of silver craftsmen in Iraq in the past two centuries were Jews, Sabean, Mandaeans , and some Muslim and Christian artisans in Basra, Amarah, Nasiriyyah, Karbala, Baghdad, Diyala, Kirkuk, Mosul, and Kurdistan (Aqra, Dahouk, and Quisinjiq).
Considering that Jews have been around since the Babylonian era or even earlier and Sabean Mandaeans have existed since the first century AD according to some Western theories and since the dawn of civilization in Mesopotamia according to other theories , why have we not seen any earlier silverwork? This is what we will briefly , try to answer in this publication , and then we will shift our focus to the existing pieces of art that were produced in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and what we should do to preserve this heritage and ensure its continuity and improvement.
