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.
One of the first Europeans to actively participate in this art form is the brewer. He has focused on an enormous series of iconographical drawings showing the key deities, lineage holders, and symbols that appear in Tibetan art throughout the last two decades.
