Surprising

I was not expecting much buying this book on a whim, but it is quite fascinating with stunning works of art. The book is laid out with a full color slide on the right page, and writing about the work on the left page. It shows examples of statues, painting, ceramics, casting, jewelry and more. This book is a introduction to the art of many Asian countries, beside India as is usual, but even as an avid collector I found the work interesting. Cannot really go wrong for the price, can be a great gift.
