Howard: Summit of Treasures: Buddhist Cave Sculpture of Dazu, China. Hardcover

Summit of Treasures: Buddhist Cave Sculpture of Dazu, China. Hardcover
by Angela Falco Howard
xiv, 206 pages, 181 blackwhite and colour illustrations, maps, bibliography, index. 2001
The Song dynasty Buddhist sculptures found in the cave complexes of the Baodingshan site at Dazu in the Sichuan province of China are discussed in a rich contextual study that seeks to present them as a unified iconographic whole. Howard (art history, Rutgers U.) lays out her theory that the whole complex can be read as a three-dimensional mandala then turns to the social function of the site as she describes the site's patron and its use in pilgrimage. The development of the Sichuan artistic style is also considered.
