The Mongol period (1206-1368) marked a major turning point of
exchange - culturally, politically, and artistically - across
Eurasia. The wide-ranging international exchange that occurred
during the Mongol period is most apparent visually through the
inclusion of Mongol motifs in textile, paintings, ceramics, and
metalwork, among other media. Eiren Shea investigates how a group
of newly-confederated tribes from the steppe conquered the most
sophisticated societies in existence in less than a century,
creating a courtly idiom that permanently changed the aesthetics of
China and whose echoes were felt across Central Asia, the Middle
East, and even Europe. This book will be of interest to scholars in
art history, fashion design, and Asian studies.
