The aesthetic language of art encompassing a vast historical period is very complex and can be difficult to read. In order to understand those artistic facets that make jewelry art from IV BC-IV AD unique we will utilize the following tools: 1. A set of major concepts used in applied art (i.e. a type of "dictionary") 2. A set of rules that define how these concepts can be blended and transformed within the "text" of the aesthetic language (i.e. "grammar") We will use this "dictionary" of concepts to identify, compare and contrast the artistic features of IV BC - IV AD art, as well as their refractions, "citations", blending and transformation in the monuments of Central Asian jewelry art.
