Buddhist Paintings of Tun-Huang in the National Museum, New Delhi reproduces and describes for the first time the paintings from Tun-huang in this museum, one of the three major repositories of the Tun-huang paintings—the others being the British Museum London and the Musée Guimet, Paris. This book fulfills a long-felt need and will cover a major lacuna of research in presenting the third large repository. The scrolls from Tun-huang are the charm of these caverns that once drew humans to their depths.
