- Title
"As the Dew Is Dried Up by the Morning Sun, So Are Mankind's Sins at the Sight of Himalaya.".
- Authors
Potter, Polyxeni
- Abstract
The article presents information on the art of the indigenous Newar in Nepal. Because Nepal is at the crossroads of trade and multiple religious traditions, the Kathmandu Valley became a shared sacred site, a focus of social and cultural exchange and the creative locus of much Himalayan art. The symbiosis of Hinduism and Buddhism is reflected in the Newari art. The religious paintings were known as paubha and may have originated with Newar artists who work in Tibet producing metalwork, murals and illuminated manuscripts. Information on the "Festival Banner," a scroll painting in the paubha tradition featured in the cover is also presented.
