Images of the Buddha in Thailand

Asking first, "Who was the Buddha?" this concise yet complete study explores Buddhas's evolution from a historical teacher to a supernatural universal emperor. Fickle examines the features shared by all images of the Buddha, especially the images found in Thailand, and carefully delineates the historical influences on each style. A generous sampling of superb black-and-white and color illustrations further illuminate the beauty and variety of Thailand's Buddha images.Fickle, Dorothy H. is the author of 'Images of the Buddha in Thailand', published 1989 under ISBN 9780195889208 and ISBN 0195889207.
