Opening with a brief history of the Rijksmuseum’s collection of Asian art, this book is divided into five chapters, each devoted to a particular region, which present various objects of outstanding quality and significance. The selection represents different regional styles, and also offers a look at sophisticated pieces of decorative art tailored to European tastes and produced specifically for export to Western markets. From fine Chinese and Japanese porcelain to dancing Shiva statues and imposing temple guards, the diversity and richness of this Amsterdam museum’s collection of Asian art is impressive, including valuable objects from Indonesia, Korea, Bangladesh, Cambodia, and more.
