Description

Since ancient times Buddhists have venerated symbolic footprints and handprints, which conjure the eternal presence of the imprinter. This volume, the catalogue of a landmark exhibition, brings together a selection of such objects, mostly from Tibet, some carved on stone and others painted on cloth or silk. The accompanying text sheds light on the religious functions of the prints and the auspicious symbols that often appear on them.
