| The book documents
India’s rich tradition of ornamentation as reflected in its numerous and
varied collection of amulets and pendants recovered from archaeological
excavations in Maharashtra. It studies the significance of these ornaments as
a visible expression of the artistic excellence and cultural wealth of the
ancient Indian civilisation particularly at the time of the great Mauryan and
Satvahana dynasties. Discussing the evolution of these portable charms
against their socio-economic and religious background, the authoress examines
the different types of amulets and pendants excavated, the techniques used in
making them, their parallels in literary and sculptural representations, and
Buddhist influence on them. Giving insights into the sources of raw materials
used in these charms, she takes up in detail the trade relations of a
specific site with other contemporary sites. With a number of figures and
maps, the work promises to be useful to both scholars and students of
Indology focussing on facets of Indian culture. |
