Buddhist Sculpture

As interesting and accessible for the general reader as it is revelatory for the scholar; this handbook examines in detail the very best of Korean Buddhist images that survive today. Through sculptures covering a span of roughly thirteen centuries, the book chronicles the arrival of Buddhism in Korea from India via China in the late fourth century A.D. during the Three Kingdoms period (100 B.C.-688 A.D.), its ascendance as the state religion, and its royal propagation. Also included are shorter sections on stone and wooden Buddhist sculptures.Pack, Youngsook is the author of 'Buddhist Sculpture' with ISBN 9788970841922 and ISBN 897084192X.
