The centre of this book is a catalogue of all known Bronze Age metalwork found in the province of East Flanders (Belgium). Each catalogue entry contains a critical assessment the object's authenticity, a short description, the story of its discovery and an extensive bibliography. `Reliability classes' are used to assess the authenticity of context, especially important when wet vs dry depositions have been interpreted so differently. Finally, the author attempts to formulate an explanatory model for deposition, based particularly on the East Flanders material.

Among the finest examples of European craftsmanship are the clocks produced for the luxury trade in the eighteenth century. The J. Paul Getty Museum is fortunate to have in its decorative arts collection twenty clocks dating from around 1680 to 1798: eighteen produced in France and two in Germany. They demonstrate the extraordinary workmanship that went into both the design and execution of the cases and the intricate movements by which the clocks operated. In this handsome volume, each clock is pictured and discussed in detail, and each movement diagrammed and described. In addition, biographies of the clockmakers and enamelers are included, as are indexes of the names of the makers, previous owners, and locations.
