Altai-Iran und Völkerwanderung : ziergeschichtliche Untersuchungen über die Eintritt der Wander- und Nordvölker in die Treibhäuser geistigen Lebens
Josef Strzygowski's 1917 art-historical study, published in Leipzig by J. C. Hinrichs, tracing ornament from the Altai and Iran through the migration-period peoples for scholars of decoration. Halftone plates photograph carved wood, metal and stone fittings whose scrolls, palmettes and paired spirals fill shaped fields, giving designers stock of migration-era motifs and ready-made panel and terminal shapes.
