Art Talk Tuesday -- Adornment: Displays of Wealth and Status

Gold, silver, gems, pearls. Crowns, earrings, pendants, bracelets. For thousands of years people of all countries and cultures have ornamented themselves with costly, intricate, and often symbolic, jewelry to attest to their wealth, status, and importance. Cultures from the ancient Persians and Koreans to 18th century ethnic Indonesians to modern Chinese and South Asians have loved beautifully crafted adornment. Speaker Mary Mead will share examples of eye-catching and meaningful wearable art from the Asian Art Museum’s fabulous collections. Interested in attending?
