"This lavish volume presents a comprehensive cross-section of eleven centuries of Tibetan-Buddhist art. The range of subject matter is dazzling, and includes wall-paintings (10th - 16th centuries), Thangkas (17th century), bronze statues (7th - 17th centuries), and scriptures (16th century) from three monasteries. The collection of statues described in this unique book is one of the most complete ever documented and includes the period of Hellenistic-Buddhist art, the Ghandara art of the 7th century, and Tibetan art up to the 17th century, as it was influenced by India, Nepal and China."
