The papers deal with art and architecture both within and on the periphery of Tibetan cultural areas. Several of the papers examine outside influences on Tibetan artistic traditions and the role of Tibetan patronage in the creation of Buddhist art. (Ben Deitle 2006-03-15)

<p>This paper presents a study of a temple, known as the <em>Lo tsA ba lha khang</em>, in the peripheral border area of Kinnaur, in northern India. The temple may have been constructed as early as the 9th century. After a brief review the of the area of Ribba, the author gives a detailed description (including floorplans and drawings) of the architecture of the temple. Local tradition associates the temple with the famous translator Rinchen Zangpo (rin chen bzang po). A translation of a local song about Rinchen Zangpo, recorded by Veronika Hein, is included in an appendix. (Ben Deitle 2006-05-03)</p>
<p>This paper identifies several problems with the use of the term "Pāla International Style" and similar classifications of Tibetan art from the 12th to 14th centuries. Other attempts to classify the art of this period, based on patronage or geography, are also not without their shortcomings, particularly as more pieces of early Inner Asian art emerge and are studied.
