DISCUSSION:

The colorful, oversized catalog to an exhibition at the Dayton Art Institute and Memphis Brooks Museum of Art. In addition to illustrations and descriptions of the objects in the exhibition, the catalog features essays: Li Jian, on the ancient sites on the Silk Road; Valerie Hansen, on finds in the Turfan Oasis; Angela Sheng, on Silk Road textiles; Katherine R. Tsiang, on Buddhist relics on the Silk Road; and Wang Binghua, on gold and silver discovered in Boma. "For centuries the great Silk Road traversed the massive expanse of China, linking the west and the east. Objects of gold, silver, ceramic, textiles and stone are included among the more than 176 treasures from China, many never seen before in this country. Drawn from the collections of more than twenty museums and archaeological institutes, these works of art highlight the influence of the west on China prior to and during the T'ang dynasty more than 1,000 years ago. The influence of Buddhism is explored in this exhibition which spans thousands of miles and more than four centuries. Stunning T'ang Dynasty horses and camels are complemented by exquisite jade and gold vessels, representing dynamic interchange in a world that was growing smaller through trade, religion and art work. Works are drawn from the far western reaches of China, including the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region, Beijing and the Gansu and Shaanxi provinces in central China."

OVERSEAS BUYERS PLEASE NOTE:   Our International shipping charges are based on the weight, when boxed for shipping, of each book -please check the postage chart for the cost of shipping to your country. We offer “combined shipping charges” for orders for more than one book –this often means the shipping cost for the books is less than it would have been if they had been purchased and shipped one at a time, so please ask us for a shipping quote if you are thinking about buying more than one book. Thanks!

INSURANCE??? As a seller we take responsibility for properly packing and delivering your purchase safely to you. You do not have to spend extra for insurance to guarantee that.

RETURNS: We want you to be completely satisfied- anything is returnable for any reason at all within 14 days of receipt; we do ask that you notify us that you are returning it.

OVERSEAS CUSTOMERS PLEASE NOTE:

-We always welcome orders from customers outside the United States. The “Free Shipping” marker found on many of our books only applies to shipping within the United States –we wish we could afford to offer free overseas shipping, but we cannot. Please use the “Shipping & Payments” tab (above) to check the cost of shipping. We charge actual shipping based on weight, so sometimes large, heavy, inexpensive books can actually cost more to ship than the book itself costs –I know that seems odd, but the shipping cost is based on the actual weight of the book, not its selling price. If you have any questions, please use the "Ask Us a Question" button before you buy the book.

-Import duties, taxes and related import charges added by your country are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility. Please check with your country’s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – please do not confuse them for additional shipping charges, which we never impose. We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as ‘gifts’ to avoid import duties, as this is illegal in most countries.
