This book presents a valuable collection of essays written over a period of forty years during the author`s illustrious career as a distinguished art-historian and archaeologist. These articles were originally published in various national and international journals, volumes and seminar proceedings. They cover a wide range of topics, such as temple-architecture, iconography, folk culture, art and other aspects of history and culture of India and South-East Asia. Prof. K.V. Raman has clearly highlighted the unique cultural relations between India and the countries of South-East Asia like Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Laos. The style of architecture, iconography and the numerous Sanskrit inscriptions found in these places show the close relations which these regions had with India since ancient times. The studies are based on extensive fieldwork and are amply illustrated with a large number of beautiful photographs. The volume will be of considerable interest to both the senior scholars and students of Indian culture. Contents: Preface List of Illustrations 1. Balustrade Sculptures of Kerala 2.

The collection of studies in Indian and East Asian Art and Iconography is a considerable assemblage of essays. Though it deals with selected topics relating to iconographic and archaeological art, it touches, sporadically though, almost the entire range of Indian art-history and salient periods of East Asia. Nonetheless, the treatment although can claim to be distinctly thorough and documented. Though by character the studies are not an all-inclusive one, they afford a glimpse of the artendeavours of most regions covered. With thirty and odd essays, appelled as chapters classed under sections, the subjects arc surely as varied as they are interesting. Though art is known to be mostly inspired by religion, these essays reveal often a transcending trend over all bounds of cults and faiths. They have touched upon art and iconography equally as they have mused on epigraphy and numismatics. And, all are aided by appropriate illustrations in which excellence and fineness of details have been kept as the primary aim. Further, these illustrations are not confined to the specific instances always as dealt with in the text, but they also include, as thought expedient, outside the immediate discussion, those that arc considered useful, as expanded and comparable material, specially to help researches ahead whenever possible. With a readable and lucid style in the treatment of the subjects taken up, the wide spread-out of the topics and the problems set are marked by a promiscuity of arrangement which is deli-berate. Deliberate so as to infuse an element of relief from the boredom that might be engendered often by the inherent dryness of the themes. CONTENTS: Preface; Section I : 1.

The forty-two characteristic examples of marine iconography included in this catalogue come mainly from the collections of the Louvre, though also from those of other museums. They are divided into four groups: marine fauna and seafaring, the deities of the deep, the voyages of gods and heroes who crisscrossed the ocean, and, finally, the miraculous birth of the goddess who emerged from the waves, Aphrodite, born from the foam. The variety and aesthetic quality of marine scenes in vase-painting reveal once more the importance of the sea to Greek civilization.==============================================================IMPORTANT:The shipping cost estimated by the system covers books weighing up to 750 gr.; a surcharge depending on the actual weight and destination applies for heavier books.

Soft cover, 30 cm, 224 pp., 192 figs.; net weight 830 gr.Cet ouvrage retrace les différentes phases de transformation dune maison à Thasos entre le IIIe et le début du VIIe siècle, rythmées par lévolution du site et de lhistoire : montée de la nappe phréatique, tremblement de terre, fin du paganisme et essor du christianisme. Aucune rupture apparente cependant, mais une récupération heureuse dune construction romaine et des mosaïques préservées malgré la montée de leau et leur iconographie païenne et linstallation dans le péristyle dun nymphée à deux niveaux de colonnes. Ce monument, dont nous proposons une reconstitution complète, représente la seule copie connue presque une maquette des nymphées urbains qui se répandirent dans les villes romaines dOrient jusquà Constantinople et furent, dans la mesure du possible, entretenus et restaurés jusquau VIIe siècle.This work recounts the different phases in the transformation of a house in Thasos between the third and the beginning of the seventh century, as shaped by the evolution of the site and of history, including the rising water table, earthquake, end of paganism and the rise of Christianity. There appears to have been no interruption, but rather the fortunate salvage of a Roman building and mosaics preserved in spite of the rising water and their pagan iconography and the construction in the peristyle of a nymphaeum with columns on two levels. This monument, of which here is offered a complete reconstruction, is the only known copy (almost a replica) of the urban nymphaea that were common in the Roman towns of the East as far as Constantinople and were (as far as was possible) maintained and restored until the seventh century...===================================================IMPORTANT: The shipping cost in not included in the price.
