When we speak of the arts of Nepal, we refer to the Kathmandu valley, rich in art and culture. This tiny valley was and still is the hub of Nepal where 2,000 years of history have been frozen in time. The style of art called Nepaliis primarily produced by the Newars, the original inhabitants of the Kathmandu valley, who shaped it since medieval times. This volume celebrates various artistic expressions of the Newars and other ethnic groups.
