About the book
Takes the reader back to the earliest uses of silver: in ingots and coins, dowries, hoards, and college plate. Shows how silver demonstrated status--whether for an individual, as ornament, furnishings, and a store of wealth; or for a society, as grave decor, civic regalia, and ritual goods. Traces silver's service as personal adornment--on heads, hands, wrists, ears, legs, and feet, and as accessories ranging from swords and baldries to snuff boxes, walking sticks, fans, and chatelaines.
