Buddharaja, ‘The King-Buddha’
SCULPTURES FROM INDIA, THE HIMALAYAS AND SOUTHEAST ASIA

The works of art in this catalogue are assembled mainly from old collections. Some are well known but others have never been published before. They range from sculptures of deep religious significance that represent a wide variety of Hindu, Buddhist and Jain gods and goddesses to ritual objects. Beautifully executed in bronze, stone or terra-cotta, these sculptures provide a sense of the artistic and aesthetic achievement of the cultural heritage of India, the Himalayas and Southeast Asia.
