Asian Art Collection

Over 800 pieces of art collected primarily from China, but also featuring work from Japan, Korea, India, Java, and Central Asia. This digital collection displays art from the larger Asian Art collection of over 2,000 items including ceramics, ivory, jade, wood, textiles, glass, horn, semi-precious stones, lacquer, porcelain, metal, paper, bamboo, and cloisonne. Pieces in the collection date from the Shang dynasty (1700-1027 B.C.E.) to the Qing dynasty (1644-1911 A.D.). The basis for the Asian Art collection came from alumnus and faculty member Dr. Frank Kramer. A finding aid to his full collection is available.
