The purpose of traditional Buddhist art was not to delight the eye or "decorate," but to remind, enlighten, and instruct. For many years art historians considered the sculpture of Northern Thailand, or Lan Na, to be a minor tradition. This volume shows that Lan Na sculpture is an enormous body of work beginning with the Mon-Hariphunchai period of the eleventh century, through the Classic period of Lan Nas Golden Age in the fifteenth century, up until Lan Nas integration into the rest of Thailand. It is a tradition of surprising diversity positioned alongside the other great Southeast Asian art traditions - the Dvaravati and Sukhothai in Thailand, the Pagan in Burma, and the Khmer in Cambodia. -- with a bonus offer-- .
