DAILY LIFE IN ANCIENT INDIA From 200 BC to 700 AD

Pale spine crease - everything else is like-new condition. Great copy! Content: The traditions that define Indian life have remained unchanged for thousands of years. Emphasizing the nine centuries of the "golden age," this introduction to India's noble culture reconstructs a time when political and religious enlightenment flourished, and artistic creation reached its height. It evokes the complexities of India's ancient epoch, caste system, endless ritual, and ceremonial nature of human relations. Questions welcome. [1 copy available]

TREASURES FROM THE BRONZE AGE OF CHINA: An Exhibition from the People's Republic of China
An Exhibition from the People's Republic of China
by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, published by Ballantine. Condition: 1980 large softcover with 99% color photographs of the exhibits. Content: I actually saw this exhibition and the items were beautiful and are well-represented in the photos here, but a great majority of the items on the tour were reproductions (including the terracotta warriors) and that was a big disappointment for a $30 - $40 ticket. But the book does not disappoint! Includes a B&W fold-out map of China and its provinces. Questions welcome. [1 copy available]
