Seeing, Rather Than Looking At, Nepalese Art
by Mary Shepherd Slusser

Clustered around the entry to the principal ground-floor shrine is a myriad of pious donations. They range in time from the ca. seventh-century
canopied caitya, claiming the central place, to the surrounding nineteenth-century bronzes and, as the most recent, rows of Tibetan prayer
wheels. Above may be seen some of the eleven ca. fifteenth–seventeenth century south-wing figural struts.
