Colour photographic illustrations, 206pp, bibliography, index.

Howard lays out her theory that the whole complex can be read as a three-dimensional mandala." Publisher's description. "For students of art history and religion alike, Professor Howard's Summit of Treasures is a treasure trove of later Chinese Buddhist stone sculpture, history, and popular culture from one of the richest and culturally most interesting regions of imperial China."
