This volume is dedicated to Prof. Dr. Monika Zin, an outstanding art historian of international standing in the field of early Buddhist art of South and Central Asia. In her numerous publications, she examines art objects and their iconography in connection with literary sources, cultural, religious, and historical backgrounds, as well as the transregional networks of the early Buddhist world concealed behind them. She thus opens up many new exciting perspectives and scholarly questions. With this volume, the editors and numerous authors from many countries around the world, whose works have been inspired in many ways by the scholarly work of Monika Zin, honour the jubilarian with a rich collection of contributions on the art, literature, and religion of South and Central Asia.
