Nepalese Casted Vessels Decanters And Bowls Volume 1

Nepalese Casted Vessels, Decanters and Bowls is one of the most important books ever written on the renowned metalwork industry in the Himalayan Kingdom of Nepal. Author Matthew Friedman has for the 1st time recorded the Lost Wax Method of metal work. Fast becoming a lost art, this art form is lovingly and brilliantly portrayed in this book in the hope that future generations in Nepal and elsewhere will come to appreciate the splendor of these unique and beautiful objects. A selection of antique goods still readily available throughout Nepal is also highlighted with an insightful explanation of the cultural and religious significance of each.
