{"product_id":"108-diety-kent-smith-9798377308867","title":"108 Diety: Hindu Tattoo and Art Reference","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 108 paintings presented in this book are a catalogue of the principal Hindu deities most widely celebrated in southern India. They are beautifully rendered and with precise iconographic art, some of which display localized features that reference place-specific moments in legends celebrated in the region. Tamil Nadu had an important religious painting tradition, much of it applied to the plastered interiors of temple walls and ceilings and temple clothes. Neither have survived well in the monsoonal climate of southern India. This album, painted in Madurai in 1837 and dispatched soon after to the USA, has escaped these depredations. It is in superb condition and a witness to the masterful skill and creativity of the hereditary painters of Madurai in the early 19th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kent Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 837730886X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798377308867\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.29d","brand":"Kent Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45180504572159,"sku":"9798377308867","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ba9a4a22-2f00-4b0d-ba5a-61eac7ea1e14.jpg?v=1712898084","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/108-diety-kent-smith-9798377308867","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
