The lucidly written accompanying text by a leading authority of Buddhist art offers the reader insights into the styles, iconography and aesthetics of the murals in a historical perspective that will not only enhance the reader's appreciation of the murals but will excite him or her to visit Alchi." - Publisher's description.
