Beschreibung
"Lo" as Mustang is called by those who dwell there, is a small area in the Nepal Himalaya. Buddhist art flourished here, particularly between the 14th and the 16th century, in a cultural environment strongly influenced by the religious order of Sakya, the great monastic fortress in southwest Tibet. This volume, the first monograph on the artistic heritage of Lo, deals with the most representative features of the religious art of the region: mural painting, sculpture and architecture. It also illustrates the restoration work carried out in important temples at Möntang, the capital of Lo. [Verlagsinformation]
