Итог:Ancient literary and inscriptional records of Israel, Egypt, Assyria and Greece document that Phoenician craftsmen were renowned for their skill in working ivory, metal, stone and wood as well as weaving and dyeing fine fabrics. However, modern critics have frequently scorned Phoenician artistry, or accorded it, at best, only backhanded compliments, largely because the Phoenicians borrowed so many (in some cases most) of their motifs from a variety of foreign sources. Phoenician art can tell us a great deal about not only Phoenician artistic techniques and aesthetic tastes, but also about Phoenician religious beliefs and rituals, international trade and travel in the ancient Mediterranean, and the exchange of ideas and techniques among cultures.
