Review Quotes: "The lushly illustrated exhibition catalogue includes some fine, informative essays by Met curators, among them Beth Carver Wees on the history of parures and John Guy on the relationship between representations of Hindu gods and the jewels that adorn them. . . .that the volume exists at all is worthy of praise."--Paula Weideger, Introspective Magazine
