Book Synopsis Beasts, Birds, and Blossoms in Thai Art by : Pamela York Taylor
Book excerpt: Luxuriant tropical plants, colorful birds, and abundant wildlife have inspired Thai artists since neolithic times. Thais have blended these familiar motifs with the foreign designs of India, China, Sri Lanka, Persia, Burma, Cambodia, and Europe to create a unique repertory of decorative art. This book traces the evolution of nature motifs and explores their symbolism in Thai crafts and fine arts.
