Eva Wilson demonsrates that a limited number of decorative ideas have recurred in many cultures and periods across the world, form prehistory to the present day, repeatedly reinvented in different forms. With the accumulated experience and accuracy of the archaeological illustrator, she approaches the question why some patterns and motifs become universally popular, and attempts some answers. Her drawings make this book a valuable source of reference and inspiration for designers, artists and historians.
