Southeast Asia encompasses present-day Burma, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia and Bali. The region’s most important cultural connection was with China and India. In the early centuries, Indian-styled kingdoms arose across the mainland and the islands. Local rulers adopted Buddhism and Hinduism. Temples were constructed and Buddhist sculptures were produced throughout Southeast Asia at great capital cities such as Angkor of Cambodian Khmer Empire (802-1431) and Ayudhya of Thai Ayudhya Kingdom (1351-1767). Influenced by Chinese designs and styles, ceramic production flourished in Thailand and Vietnam from the fourteenth through sixteenth centuries. The artisans created distinctive earthenware and stoneware decorated with painted designs in underglaze iron brown or cobalt blue. |
