Reviews

-This lavishly illustrated work is a tour de force study very much in the mold of the same author's Cultural Convergence in the Northern Qi Period: A Flamboyant Chinese Ceramic Container, a research monograph (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2007). -Both of these volumes focus on a single ceramic piece, but -- by assiduously tracing the origins and parallels of the motifs on them -- the author is able to explicate the Eurasian wide cultural connections that they embody. -You probably won't be able to find any reference to Cosmopolitanism in the Tang Dynasty anywhere for a while yet, but do keep your eye open for it, since this is a signal publication for anyone who is interested in Sogdians, Turks, the history of wine, mortuary figures, and ceramic technology during the medieval period.- --Victor H. Mair, Professor of Chinese Language and Literature, University of Pennsylvania
