This catalogue collects eighty-nine of the finest surviving works from Ayutthaya, one of the largest and most important kingdoms in Southeast Asia – or ‘Siam’ as it is known in the West – drawn from collections in Thailand, Europe, and the Unites States; many of these are being displayed for the first time in the West. They include stone and bronze Buddha images, sculptures of Hindu deities, figural and decorative wood carvings, temple furnishings, illuminated manuscripts, jewelry, and textiles.
