Lotus Transcendent: Indian and Southeast Asian Sculpture from the Samuel Eilenberg Collection

The Lotus Transcendent explores works drawn from one of the most important collections of Indian and Southeast Asian art ever assembled. The collection was brought together by Samuel Eilenberg, a formidable connoisseur who is legendary for his knowledge, prescience, and commitment. The Works studied range from sculptures of deep religious significance that represent a wide variety of Hindu and Buddhist gods and goddesses, to figures of a secular nature, and to objects such as reliquaries, jewelry, toys, and bells created for ritual, domestic, or personal use.Lerner, Martin is the author of 'Lotus Transcendent: Indian and Southeast Asian Sculpture from the Samuel Eilenberg Collection', published 1991 under ISBN 9780810964075 and ISBN 0810964074.
