Product Description
The removal and sale to the West of the finest pieces of Nepalese art during the 1970s and 1980s is still going on. This text - the result of over ten years' research - reveals the shocking truth behind the plunder of a nation's artistic heritage for short-term gain. The first part provides a photographic file of theft on a grand scale, with "before" and "after" evidence. The second part offers a textual and photographic examination of the problem, along with photographic documentation.
