Nomadic art of the eastern Eurasian steppes : the Eugene V. Thaw and other New York collections

Emma C. Bunker, James C. Y. Watt, Zhixin Sun, Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, N.Y.)
"The artistic exchange between the pastoral peoples and their settled Chinese neighbors through trade, migration, marriage alliances, and warfare contributed to the cultural development of both groups. This book chronicles that exchange and tells of the legacy of their art, with iconographic analyses and detailed descriptions of nearly two hundred artifacts." "The objects, a recent gift to The Metropolitan Museum of Art, are drawn from the distinguished collection of Eugene V. Thaw, with additional works selected from other New York collections and from the holdings of the Metropolitan Museum."--Jacket
