The articles investigate diverse subjects – preservation, digital reconstruction of lost murals, redating through the study of regional influences, iconography, style, translation and edition of captioned murals.

The volume publishes hitherto unknown murals extant in Myanmar, Thailand and Mongolia, others recently rediscovered and endangered (in Tibet) or destroyed and vandalised (in Afghanistan and Xinjiang).
