Seller's Description:
Good in Good jacket. Size: 10x8x0; 1983 Princeton University Press (Princeton, New Jersey), 8 5/8 x 10 1/4 inches tall brown cloth hardcover in publisher's unclipped dust jacket, gilt lettering to spine, brown endpapers, copiously illustrated with black-and-white photographs and line drawings, xvii, 48 pp. plus 75 numbered plates on [61] pp. Slight smoky odor. Very slight rubbing to covers. Small ink stain to lower margin of one page. Otherwise, a very good copy-clean, bright and unmarked-in a slightly stained, rubbed and edgeworn dust jacket which is nicely preserved and displayed in a clear archival Brodart sleeve. Note that this is a heavy and oversized book, so additional postage will be required for international or priority orders. ~SP47~ [2.5P] Three descriptive essays and numerous fascinating photographs allow the reader to experience a major monument of Indian art: the sixth-century temple cave on Elephanta Island, in Bombay harbor, and its extraordinary stone sculptures. The authors and the photographer capture the atmosphere of the cave and the spirit of the sculptures, which portray the relentless energy and paradoxical power of Shiva, greatest of all Hindu gods. In the text Wendy O'Flaherty interprets the myths of Shiva depicted in the sculpture; Ms. Berkson's essay supplies historical background and a stylistic analysis; and George Michell examines the overall structure of the cave to show that it is a mandala-like image of the heavenly mountain residence of Shiva and even of the structure of the universe itself.
