CHOLA SACRED BRONZES OF SOUTHERN INDIA, VIDYA DEHEJIA

A book meant for collectors!The Cholas left a lasting legacy. Their patronage of Tamil literature and their zeal in the building of temples has resulted in some great works of Tamil literature and architecture. The Chola kings were avid builders and envisioned the temples in their kingdoms not only as places of worship but also as centers of economic activity. They were also well known for their art, specifically temple sculptures and 'Chola bronzes', exquisite bronze sculptures of Hindu deities built in a lost wax process they pioneered; that continues (to a certain extent) to this day.Printed in Belgium. Flawless binding, brand new and crisp print. Laden with beautiful images of the Gods and Goddesses, straight from the Chola period. Image details are simply marvellous. Bought this at an amazingly low price in a deal! Sturdy packaging and quick delivery. I never expected such a beautiful book at this price! Truly, this would be any collector's delight. Thanks Amazon and the seller!
