From the DJ: Third in a series of five volumes on the incomparable collection of the Topkapi Saray Museum. Six centuries of Oriental treasures (and their attendant legends) are housed in the maze that constitutes Istanbul's famed former palace of the Ottoman sultans. The collection has never before been photographed for publication. This volume concentrates on the museum's magnificent array of jewelry, metalwork, and other handcrafted objects in the palace treasury.
