URL: http://kaladarshan.arts.ohio-state.edu/exhib/jade/hp/hp.html
Language: English.
Resource type: Documents/Study.

Self description: "Online exhibition features photos from the exhibition
held at the Columbus Museum of Art [Columbus, OH, USA]. [...] Contains 177
images with didactic text - including photos taken under UV light - and
essays. Subject matter includes: Jade - Ritual Objects (ceremonial, burial,
authoritative), Animal Pendants, Plaques and Fantastic Creatures,
Decorative Objects, Personal/Functional items; Clay - Burial, Vessels,
Figurines, Molds; Bronze - Ritual Vessals, Burial, Weapons; Painting."

Description: An exceptional site combining images and very detailed
introductions on the social and historical background as well as into the
craft of making jade itself. Suggestions for further reading in each
section make this resource valuable for both scholars and other interested
parties.

Says T. Matthew Ciolek (editor of the Asian Studies WWW Virtual Library):
"As on previous occasions, The Huntington Archive web site sets the
presentation and annotation (incl. metadata) standards for the rest of the
online world."
