Eight volumes (volume 3-volume 10, a complete set?). Illustrated throughout. Stitched-binding, on double leaves, bound in cloth. Each volume is contained in an individual chemise with bone clasps. 29.3x20 cm. (11½x8").

The work is about the religious art related to Taoism, Buddhism & Tibetan Buddhism, being an illustrated catalogue of the religious places and objects from Mongolia and Manchuria, full of photographs of temples, sculptures, paintings and religious objects and artifacts. The set was planned to have 10 volumes, but for some unknown reason the first two volumes do not seem to have been published, as noted in the catalogue descriptions of Smithsonian Institution Libraries and Worldcat.org.
