This auction catalogue documents a non-fiction sale organized by Sotheby's on 27 February 1978 devoted to antiquities, tribal art, and a broad range of Asian artistic traditions, including Islamic, Indian, Nepalese, Tibetan, and South-East Asian works. Produced as a specialist reference publication, the catalogue arranges objects by lot number and presents concise scholarly entries intended for collectors, dealers, and researchers. Descriptions typically provide cultural attribution, approximate dating, materials, dimensions, and provenance notes when available, supported by photographic plates for visual identification. The volume serves today as a historical record of collecting patterns and classification practices within the late twentieth-century international art market.
