Extract from the introduction
A major feature of this study is the evolution of popular religious and secular art through the past two millennia. Many facets of popular religious expression illustrated on these tokens find no parallels in such better known media as coins, sculptures and statues... This is essentially a survey of the field of Indian tokens. It is not intended to be a catalogue which is i any way a comprehensive inventory.
