Sacred Imagery: Representations of Faith and Worship
Author: Judith Millidge.
Format: 318 x 235mm, 144 pages.

This richly illustrated volume exlores the full spectrum of sacred imagery, from the shrines and manuscripts of ancient cultures to the icons of contemporary faiths evolving toward greater unity in the service of peace. Here are expressions of spirituality from animistic cave paintings and petroglyphs to the triptychs and carvings of medieval monuments, the works of the great Renaissance masters, and the Buddhas, shrines and pantheons of India, Islam and the Far East.
