This catalog of one of the largest holdings of Nepali art provides the art history of an important Asian cultural area. In his lengthy introduction Pal discusses the cultural milieu of Nepali art and includes 36 color plates that captivate the eye. The catalog itself consists of three parts: sculpture, drawings (model books and manuals), and paintings. Each section has its own introduction and black-and-white illustrations of each piece. Of particular interest are the model books, which allow insights into iconography, perspective, and Nepali themes. Highly recommended for all libraries interested in Asian art.
