UNPUBLISHED KHMER ART COMES TO LIFE
IN THIS GROUNDBREAKING NEW BOOK

ADORATION AND GLORY: The Golden Age of Khmer Art

For the first time now this book offers a comprehensive overview of the outstanding capabilities and craftsmanship of ancient Khmer artists.  Many important pieces in stone, bronze, silver and gold are published here for the very first time. As the book brings together the wealth of the Khmer culture, the authors were able to gain access to private as well as public collections worldwide to give unparalleled access to more than 150 objects. With the inclusion of Tantric Hindu and Buddhist images never seen in public and new technical research into manufacturing techniques by leading museum scientist Dr Pieter Meyers, the publication suggests many fresh interpretations of Khmer art and culture particularly at a time when the authenticity of newly excavated material is often in question. The pictures shown in the categories below should give you a brief glimpse of some of the magnificent pieces shown in this book. The book of course will show you more than 150 detailed pictures in highest quality --- Enjoy !
