Tibeti és mongol buddhista tekercsképek

The second volume of the series “The Art of Buddhism” focuses mainly on Tibetan and Mongolian religious paintings, providing a list of the main monastic sites of Tibetan Buddhism. It is an attempt to give an overview of the history, iconography and iconometry of Tibetan and Mongolian art, along with the rites related to arts.

The Tibetan-Nepalese collection of the Ferenc Hopp Museum of Eastern Asiatic Arts consists of approximately 200 artefacts (the majority of which are small sculptures or scroll paintings). The Mongolian collection of approximately 300 items also includes ethnographic items. The Tibetan-Nepalese collection evolved thanks to the work of Imre Schwaiger, an art collector and art dealer born in Szeged who lived in Delhi and London. The Mongolian collection evolved thanks to the continued efforts of collectors.
