Buddhist Primitives is a book by Ananda Coomaraswamy which provides a comprehensive view of the early Buddhist art and architecture. The book covers the period from the inception of Buddhism in India to the early centuries of the Common Era. Coomaraswamy's approach to the subject is both scholarly and aesthetic, as he examines the symbolism and iconography of Buddhist art as well as its historical and cultural context. The book includes numerous illustrations and photographs of Buddhist art and architecture from India, Sri Lanka, and other parts of Asia. It also discusses the influence of Buddhism on other religions and cultures, such as Hinduism and Jainism. Overall, Buddhist Primitives is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history and art of Buddhism.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Dance of Siva Fourteen Indian Essays, by Ananda Coomaraswamy.
