Bronze has been used since ancient times to create spectacular objects and artworks. This volume presents a compendium of bronze art from Asia over four millennia, from religious statues and ritual objects to everyday functional items. By revealing the fascinating array of bronzes from South, East, and Southeast Asia, it offers an intriguing journey of discovery that not only emphasises the artisanry and creativity of ancient craftspeople but also inspires deep admiration for their unparalleled artistic talent. The book is published on the occasion of the exhibition ‘Asian Bronze’ at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and is designed by Irma Boom.
