This is a Chinese-language edition of Buddhist Sculpture in Clay by Christian Luczanits, originally published by Serindia in 2004, issued in simplified Chinese by Zhongguo Zangxue Chubanshe 中国藏学出版社 China Tibetan Studies Publishing House in 2018.
Large-scale clay sculptures representing the main deities are characteristic of the earliest Tibetan Buddhist monuments and particularly for the monasteries and village-temples built from the end of the 10th to the early 13th centuries in West Tibet and Ladakh. Commonly placed in the main niches along the central axis of the monuments these images of highest quality constitute a major source for the cultural and religious history of western Himalayan (Indo-Tibetan) art and early Tibetan art in general.
