Summary: A good look at mostly smaller votive and everyday objects.
Comment: This volume covers a wide variety of smaller art objects that might be found in everyday use or funerary preparations. The photos are excellent and the written descriptions are very informative. There are very few temple and tomb wall carvings to be found in this book. Small statuary,pottery, and some jewelry objects dominate the content.
