This beautifully illustrated volume, written by Adriana Proser, Asia Society Museum’s John H. Foster Senior Curator of Traditional Asian Art, highlights artworks from the late sixth century BCE to the early nineteenth century CE, including spectacular Chinese vases, dynamic Indian Chola bronzes, and exquisite Southeast Asian sculptures.
