This beautifully illustrated volume presents a comprehensive survey of the magnificent Buddhist sculptures from Amaravati, one of ancient India’s greatest artistic achievements. Centered around the Great Stupa on the Krishna River, these reliefs—now housed in the British Museum—depict scenes from the life of the Buddha and the spiritual grandeur of early Buddhism.

With over 200 illustrations, Amaravati showcases the exquisite craftsmanship, symbolism, and naturalism of these masterpieces, offering deep insights into Indian art, religion, and courtly life between the 2nd century BCE and the 3rd century CE. A landmark study by Robert Knox, this work is a fitting tribute to the timeless glory of ancient Indian sculpture.
