Body, Speech and Mind
ASIAN RELIGIOUS IMAGES

The arts of India, the Himalayas and Southeast Asia are the product of individual genius given tangible shape in a sequence of magnificent periods of change, of cultural flowering, which sprang from many different artistic and intellectual disciplines. Body, Speech and Mind presents a fine selection of religious sculptures and objects originating from these regions, each one a worthy representative of Asia’s cultural heritage.
