Global Connections of Gandharan Art, Paperback/***

This volume addresses directly the question of cross-cultural influence on and by Gandharan art. The contributors wrestle with old controversies, particularly the notion that Gandharan art is a legacy of Hellenistic Greek rule in Central Asia and the growing consensus around the important role of the Roman Empire in shaping it. Illustrations: 230 figures (colour throughout) Editor(s): Peter Stewart
