Treasures Rediscovered: Chinese Stone Sculpture
UMMA's Research Curator of Asian Art Natsu Oyobe will introduce this exhibition, which presents 22 Chinese stone sculptures from the Han Dynasty (206 BCE-220 CE) through the Tang Dynasty (618-907 CE). The group of steles, full figures and heads of Buddhist icons, and funerary objects, provides a comprehensive and insightful view of how art manifests ritual practice and how iconography reflects cultural transmission and transformation in China.
