For artists, designers, and all with an interest in Buddhist and Tibetan
art, this is the first exhaustive reference to the seemingly infinite
variety of symbols found throughout Tibetan art in line drawings,
paintings, and ritual objects. Hundreds of the author's line drawings
depict all the major Tibetan symbols and motifs—landscapes, deities,
animals, plants, gurus, mudras (ritual hand gestures), dragons, and
other mythic creatures—ranging from complex mythological scenes to
small, simple ornaments.
