Description About the author Contents
 
Both spatiall and temporally, the scope of this book is expansive. Spatially, the eight essays cover a vast swathe of Asia stretching from Mathura in India to Thailand in Southeast Asia, including the Himalayan region. Temporally, the period covered is over a millennium from the 1st century BCE to the 10th century CE. Conceptually, the essays cover both the so-called aniconic or the early phase, when Buddha Shakyamuni was not represented in art in the human form as well as the iconic period when he began to be portrayed as a divine figure. Each of the eight essays provides fresh material as well as new interpretations of familiar symbols and images.
