Miscellanies about the Buddha Image
Claudine Bautze-Picron
The papers included here address various issues that reflect manifold ways of approaching study of the Buddha image. Most were presented in July 2007 during the Nineteenth International Conference of the Association of South Asia Archaeologists in Europe. This volume intends to cast light on numerous possible ways of looking at the image and as such, should be considered in a sense 'preliminary' to further, more specific studies bearing on the topic.
