About the Book
This revised edition of a PhD thesis submitted at the University of Leipzig presents a comprehensive study of the decorative repertoire of the murals at Kizil, located in the Kucha region along the Northern Silk Road. The book, titled Analysis of the Ornaments and Decorations in Murals of the Buddhist Site of Kizil and their Indian and Western Influences, delves into the friezes, ornamental fields, and architectural elements that divide and frame the narrative scenes in the Kizil caves.
By focusing on an often-understudied aspect of Buddhist art—the decorative motifs—the analysis provides a typological classification of all decorative elements found at the Kizil site. The comparative study traces the strong cultural connections between Kizil's decorative art and those of Iran and India, highlighting the cross-cultural exchange along the Silk Road.
