THE CAVE TEMPLES OF MAICHISHAN, Sullivan - OP

THE CAVE TEMPLES OF MAICHISHAN, by Michael Sullivan and others, Berkeley 1969, U C Press. Grey cloth, very good, dj., 77p.+ 104 color & b.w. plates. With an account of 1958 Expedition to Maichishan by Anil de Silva. Scholarly account of the Buddhist cave shrines, perhaps the most spectacular discoveries ever made in China. Some 187 chambers were hollowed out in the cliffs, plastered, painted & adorned with clay sculptures, carved in the 6th century. Long out of print, this rare book is a real find.
