This auction catalogue documents a non-fiction sale held by Sotheby's on 18 February 1980 dedicated to antiquities and a wide range of non-Western artistic traditions, including Islamic, Tibetan, Nepalese, Indian, and South-East Asian art. Structured as a specialist reference publication, the volume organizes objects by lot number and provides concise scholarly entries intended for collectors, dealers, and researchers. Catalogue records generally include cultural attribution, approximate dating, materials, dimensions, and provenance notes when available, accompanied by photographic plates for identification and evaluation. The publication offers insight into collecting practices and classification frameworks prevalent in the late twentieth-century international art market.
