Reviews

Strongly recommended for academic and research libraries with a focus on the fields of Asian art, religion, history, and culture. ARLIS/NA Reviews This volume vividly conveys the historical and biographical contexts of the art, especially the turmoil in central and eastern Tibet in the 18th century- the regionalism, factionalism, and personal relations among lamas as expressed in the art.
