The Buddha (Sacred Symbols Series)
By Mark Lehner.
Description
Carved in stone, wood or precious metal, depicted in paintings and manuscripts woven into the architecture and decoration of sacred places - the Buddha is the central figure in a religion which advocates liberation from earthly, material things. This beautiful book examines and illustrates the representation of the Buddha throughout the ages, and explores the symbolic expression of his beliefs and teachings in the art and architecture of his disciples. - from Amzon
