Dwarfly Treasures.
« on: December 29, 2008, 01:17:02 am »
Links to treasures from around the world, that can serve as inspiration for visualizing the kinds of things our dwarfs are making.

I'm specifically adding links to sites with a large selection of items that are not only valuable, but particularly finely and intricately made.

Thracian and Bulgarian gold and silver:

The imperial jewels of Iran:

http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/Base/1406/jewel/imperialjewels.html

Treasures of the Kremlin:

http://textplay.net/pages/index.htm

Statues from all over Asia:

http://www.guimet.fr/-The-collections-

More treasures from Iran/Persia (you'll have to click on a few links to get to the galleries, but there's a lot to see--choose a period (Sassanid, etc), and then a subject (metalwork, etc)):

http://www.cais-soas.com/CAIS/virtual_museum/image_library.htm

I'll keep adding to these, when I have time.
