For over 500 years Thai mother-of-pearl inlay has developed a distinctive and beautiful style. Used for a wide variety of decorative purposes – doors and windows for temples, palace thrones and precious objects such as monks' alm bowls or boxes – the book illustrates the best examples of mother-of-pearl inlay from the Ayutthaya period onwards, combining history with superlative photography.
River Books was founded over 30 years ago to publish books on Southeast Asian art, history and culture.
