Summary

A study of the artistic dialogue between the two great north Asian cultural centres of Tibet and China, commencing as early as the 9th century, through to the 15th century. This groundbreaking monograph is well illustrated with many objects which are otherwise inaccessible and bases its findings on translations of indigenous Tibetan, Chinese and Central Asian inscriptions. With a new foreword by the author, many new colour illustrations and an extensive bibliography of Western language, Tibetan, Chinese and Japanese sources, it is both a scholarly and attractive addition to the growing corpus of literature on Tibetan art.
