DICTIONARY OF SYMBOLS GEB: An Illustrated Guide to Traditional Images, Icons and Emblems - Tapa dura

Reseña del editor

The crow spelled death for medieval Europeans, but for Native Americans it represents a guide from the spirit world. "Dictionary of Symbols" explores 1,000 symbols from across the world's cultures and throughout the ages. Unlike other books on the subject, it is truly comprehensive, including entries, arranged alphabetically, for everything from amaranth (a Greek symbol of immortality) to ziggurat (a temple-shaped Mesopotamian icon). Indexed, cross-referenced, and packed with over 100 drawings, this is an indispensable reference for writers, artists, and anyone intrigued by the power of primal metaphors.
