Emerald Cities: Arts of Siam and Burma 1775-1950

by M.L. Pattaratorn Chirapravati and Forrest McGill

Book Overview

Emerald Cities is a lavishly illustrated catalog of artworks from Thailand and Burma, and provides an introduction to one of Asia's richest and least known artistic traditions. Focusing primarily on decorative and religious objects from the nineteenth century, Emerald Cities brings to light the lively, yet often strained, interchange between the regions of central and northern Thailand (Siam) and Burma.
