• Sommario/riassunto: This book examines similarities and differences between art in ancient Indian (Indus) civilizations and that of the Aegean civilizations. The comparison raises questions about possible cross-cultural influences, which became more significant following Alexander's invasion and the subsequent adaptation of Indian art under the Indo-Greek kingdoms.
