Note: Transcriptions of art descriptions taken from photos that weren't always clear. Information in [brackets] is mine. "Unidentified" objects lacked descriptive labels. It seemed that the labeling system hadn't quite been finalized as of our visit (March 2003).
Where are these photos from?: These are photos I took at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco.
