The distinct tradition of Indian shadow puppetry has been the subject of much interest among scholars, focusing mainly on its origin, the mutual exchange between different regions across Asia, and the relationship between theater performance and popular culture. This study discusses the similarities of shadow puppets with temple mural painting and loose-leaf paintings, and shows how puppets may have shifted technically from narrative paintings on…
Securing the Harmony between the High and the Low
For decades scholars have been discussing the meaning, purpose, and function of the various styles of decoration found in jade and bronze objects produced in the period spanning the Neolithic to the Han dynasty. Max Loehr made a significant contribution to this discussion in 1953 when he made the first attempt to understand the nature and sequence of styles of bronze décor from the Anyang period (1300–1038 b.c .), which corresponds to the late Sh…

This paper examines the role of Western museums, in particular the Museu do Oriente (Orient Museum) in Lisbon, Portugal, concerning the display of Chinese folk art and popular culture, contributing to a wider perspective of the image of China, after 500 years of artistic and cultural exchange between Portugal, Macau and China. The Orient Museum comprises a large collection of Chinese art and material culture which offers a wider perspective of Gr…
