About this Item
An important and now rare monograph on the art and culture of the Mon kingdom of Dvaravati, which covered virtually the entire territory of now Thailand, between the 6th and 11th centuries AD. A Hindu-Buddhist (Theravada and later Mahayana) polity heavily influenced by Indian culture, Dvaravati was the source of a unique, rich sculptural and architectural tradition, parts of which remain an enigma to the present. Tracing the development of the culture and its regional variants, Dr. Quaritch-Wales study remains the most authoritative in English. 12 line drawings & maps, 76 b&w plates, bibliography, index. Minor shelf soiling to jacket, internally fine. *** PLEASE NOTE : BOOK ONLY SHIPPED BY AIRMAIL *** Size: 22 x 15 cm. Seller Inventory # 000854
