The Encyclopedia of Tibetan Symbols and Motifs by Robert Beer
For artists, designers, and all with an interest in Buddhist and Tibetan art, this is the first exhaustive reference to the seemingly infinite variety of symbols found throughout Tibetan art in line drawings, paintings, and ritual objects. Hundreds of the author's line drawings depict all the major Tibetan symbols and motifs--landscapes, deities, animals, plants, gurus, mudras (ritual hand gestures), dragons, and other mythic creatures--ranging from complex mythological scenes to small, simple ornaments.
ROBERT BEER has studied and practiced Tibetan thangka painting for over thirty years, including five years of study with master artists Jampa of Dharamsala and Khamtrul Rinpoche.
