Although ostensibly describing 66 artefacts that were on exhibit at the China Institute Gallery in New York in 2007, this volume is thus far, far more. The additional contributions from a number of known Buddhist scholars (Eugene Wang, Xiuqin Zhou...), although at times previously published in other publications or presented at conferences, are a very important contribution to the usefulness of this volume.
Comparative lists with Chinese and Sanskrit names, selected Chinese characters, and an excellent Bibliography also make this a valuable addition to any library that includes works on Buddhist iconography. I found it especially useful to compare the photographs with those from older publications of Xi'an's Beilin Museum, where these pieces are normally housed.
