Antiquities of Himachal-M. POSTEL/A. NEVEN/K. MANKODI
| Antiquities
of Himachal attempts to acquaint the reader with little known wooden and
stone temples, sculptures in wood and stone, bronzes, and that unique form of
art--the metal mask or mohra. A number of indigenous wooden temples which
incorporate and continue the earlier classical tradition are illustrated. So
far, the earliest known sculptures and bronzes were those in the Laksanadevi
temple at Bharmaur, and the Saktidevi temple at Chhatradi, in Chamba. Here,
however, some earlier (stone and wood) carvings datable to the sixth and
seventh centuries are published for the first time. For the first time, also,
a large number of brass and silver mohras (masks), which are still in worship
in some of the temples in remote villages of the kullu,Mandi and Simla
districts are illustrated, and a chronology based on a strict morphological
analysis attempted.emphasis is laid on new material, and on its visual
presentation. |
