Review:
"... to work through this book is an absolute necessity for everyone dealing with pre- and Kuṣāṇa art and culture." - Harry Falk, Berlin, in: Orientalistische Literaturzeitung, 104 (2009), 4-5
"In her introduction Doris Srinivasan sums up the 'hallmarks characterizing the vitality and creativity of Pre- and early Kusana art' as being adoption, adaptation, and transformation (p. 25). I would argue that these are characteristics of Indian art as a whole, and the papers in this excellent volume testify to some of ways in which this holds true dureing the first centuries before and after the common era." - Sonya Rhie Quintanilla, San Diego Museum of Art, in: JAOS 2009: 129.3
