Twelve centuries ago, a merchant ship--an Arab dhow--foundered on a reef just off the coast of Belitung, a small island in the Java Sea. The cargo was a remarkable assemblage of lead ingots, bronze mirrors, spice-filled jars, intricately worked vessels of silver and gold, and more than 60,000 glazed bowls, ewers, and other ceramics. The ship remained buried at sea for more than a millennium, its contents protected from erosion by their packing and the conditions of the silty sea floor. This book explores this cargo and the story of the men who sailed it, with more than 250 photographs and essays by experts in Arab ship-building methods, pan-Asian maritime trade, ceramics, precious metalwork, and more.
