Times art critic Christopher Knight checks out “The Jeweled Isle: Art from Sri Lanka” at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, a mixed bag of a show that features decorative and religious items (hair combs, boxes, paintings, ceremonial daggers and Buddhas) dating from the third century to the present. “The show’s most important feature is the general context it provides, however fragmentary, for the Sri Lankan works in LACMA’s own collection,” he writes, “said to be the most expansive such holdings in an American museum.” Los Angeles Times
