description: McArthur is curator of East Asian art at the Pacific Asian Museum, Pasadena, California. Here she offers a basic introduction to Buddhist iconography and symbolism without delving into the intricacies of the religion itself or providing a chronological or geographical survey of the vast body of art associated with Buddhism. The many illustrations are monochrome. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
