The collection of Robert and Lois Baylis. The collection is comprised of over 70 objects not including Tibetan and Himalayan carpets. The majority of the works are painting with a few sculpture and ritual objects. At least 39 of the paintings belong to sets of works primarily depicting Shakyamuni Buddha and the Sixteen Great Elders (sthavira/arhat). The two earliest paintings are a Hevajra (HAR #90344) and a Shakyamuni (HAR #90306). There are also ten very fine book covers.
