Flourishing in East Java, Indonesia, between the late 13th and the early 16th centuries, art from Majapahit had a decisive influence on the development of Southeast Asian culture: ist highly distinctive style was characterized by the subtle balance between form and decoration and by a rich iconography strongly influenced by Sivaism and Buddhism. Today, these Majapahit artworks still constitute a highly interesting field of research, but they have been surprisingly far too little studied or published worldwide. This volume presents an exceptional selection of 77 Majapahit terracotta sculptures covering a wide range of sophisticated iconographyanimals, images of motherhood, divinitiesall drawn from popular legends of the period and part of a broader narrative series waiting to be discovered.
