This volume representations of decapitation in both texts and images in a trans-chronological
perspective that aims to highlight a number of conditions, relations and meanings
of this specific act in times of war, recognizing the severed head as a "coveted object"
for the many individuals who interact with it and determine its fate. With examples
drawn from Anatolia, Syria and Mesopotamia between the 3rd and 1st millennium BC,
from prehistory to the Neo-Assyrian period, this fascinating study is of interest
not only to art historians, but also anyone
