Seller's Description:
VG. May have owner's name inside front cover. Black & illustrated wraps. 352 pp. 214 color plates, 120 BW illustrations. Issued in conjunction with 2001-2002 exhibitions. "Stunning works in precious metals, glass, and stone--many recently excavated and virtually unknown outside China--shed new light on a pivotal epoch in Chinese history. From the 4th through 7th century, monks and merchants freely traveled along the fabled Silk Road, linking China with the west, propagating Buddhism, and purveying exotic goods and artifacts that fundamentally transformed Chinese culture and society." (publisher) This is the first book "to explore the magnificent treasures and sites of China's northwest section of the Silk Road." Lavishly illustrated.
