Artistic Styles of the Newar

Description: by Teisberg through Professor Rev. Dr. James Kenneth Powell II, opensourcebuddhism.org This project investigates the nature of the art of Kathmandu Valley and of its most ancient people, the Newar. The Newars are the closest we have to the most ancient and unchanged Buddhism in the world. Nepal's Buddhism survived the Muslim incursions and there is nothing like their culture and its art to understand the Indian original Buddhism. Very nice job.
