Oversized book to accompany the "Imperial Tombs of China" exhibit in the United States. It is extraordinarily rich in content and the broadest scope among the great exhibitions of cultural relics that China has sponsored abroad during the past decade. The more than two hundred objects exhibited are cultural treasures selected from twenty-two institutions in nine provinces and cities in China. They are a feast for the eyes that will delight you and allow you to thoroughly understand the inexhaustible seductiveness and beauty of Eastern culture. Fully illustrated with accompanying text and Index.
INFORMATIVE SHORT CHAPTER INTRODUCTIONS. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF OBJECTS WITH EXTRA ATTENTION TO DIMENSIONS DATES AND DYNASTY. COMPREHENSIVE SURVEY NOT JUST TERRA COTTA WARRIORS.
Lots of lovely pictures of ancient Chinese artifacts. I think I missed this show when it was in Portland, but I've seen two others: one in Portland and another in Seattle.
