Popis: This essay argues that expatriate residents of medieval Quanzhou recycled objects to create meaning across cultures. By tracing the mobility of imagery, iconography, and decorative idioms across belief structures, this essay demonstrates how the salvaging of artifacts between religions literally built a local visual and religious culture from available parts.
