Hard bound. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: new. First. The Buddhapada is one of the most enigmatic artistic developments that has derived from the Buddhist faith. Literally foot or feet of the Buddha, its most common manifestation is that of a footprint rendered in three dimensions in stone or metal or less commonly on cloth or paper. Often replete with complex symbolism, they serve both as a tool of instruction and as a timeless reminder to the faithful of the Buddhas presence and power. The author traces the evolution of this pinnacle of early Buddhist art from its origins in north India over two millennia ago through its long migration in time and space to its present prominence throughout Buddhist Asia. Documenting many fine examples along the way the author completes this first pan-Asian survey of the Buddhapada with fascinating anecdotes of the monks, pilgrims and laymen encountered in his odyssey. 215 pp.,131 col. plates, 9 maps, bibliography, index. Size: 25 x 18 cm.
