| Title: | Temple Terracotta Decoration: Interaction Between Monumental and Vernacular Traditions in Bengal | | Author: | Michell, George | | Publication: | Marg | | Enumeration: | Vol. 34 Issue no. 4, p. 11-20 | | Abstract: | A sharp break in the tradition of monumental architecture in Bengal coincided with the Muslim conquest of the 13th-14th century. By the end of the 16th century, a uniquely Bengali style of temple architecture and sculpture established itself. Cultural contacts of Bengal with Orissa helped preserve earlier forms.
