Origins Of Thai Art

This richly illustrated, very readable book presents a survey of early Thai art within the context of recent art research. These extraordinary glimpses into Thailand's once hidden past have remained hidden and disconnected until recently. Here in one volume is a comprehensive survey over three and a half millennia of art that has led toward the formation of the modern Thai nation.

Betty Gosling holds a Ph.D. in art history and is the author of three previous books on Southeast Asian art. She has traveled extensively through much of Asia and lived for several years in Malaysia and Thailand.
