A fascinating look at Bactrian Buddhist art. Some sections were a bit dense, but overall a worthwhile read for those interested in the subject. The images are helpful.
Tanya Jethwani –
Abdullaev’s book is a valuable resource for scholars. The depth of research is evident. However, it can be a bit dry for a casual reader. So, I am bit conflicted in rating.
Kaushik Roy –
A great overview of the iconography. The book could have used more color plates, but the analysis is top-notch. It still is a great resource for research.
Nirmal Kumar –
A solid contribution to the field. Some of the interpretations are debatable, but it’s a thought-provoking work nonetheless. Definitely a must have book.
Ruchi Mittal –
I really enjoyed learning about this lesser-known area of Buddhist art. The book is well-written and informative. Though, the book is little expansive.
Gyan Chandra Tiwari –
While informative, the book can be a bit repetitive at times. It is also somewhat lengthy. But the topic itself it niche and unique.
Akshat Ruhela –
I was hoping for more on the cultural context, but the book mainly focuses on iconography. Still, it’s a useful reference. And, I would recommend it.

This is a very specialized book. If you’re not already familiar with Buddhist art history, you might find it difficult to follow. But a very nice collection of information.

The author does an amazing job of explaining complex concepts. It provides unique insight of the era, however, it is only for some audiences.
