In Hinduism
Shilpashastra (iconography)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama Texts (shilpa)Śilāsaṃgraha (शिलासंग्रह) refers to the “collection of stone” (for icons), as discussed in chapter 11 (Kriyāpāda) of the Padmasaṃhitā: the most widely followed of Saṃhitā covering the entire range of concerns of Pāñcarātra doctrine and practice (i.e., the four-fold formulation of subject matter—jñāna, yoga, kriyā and caryā) consisting of roughly 9000 verses.—Description of the chapter [śilā-dāru-saṃgraha]: An icon may be made out of metal, gems, stone (śilā), clay, wood or marble. The varieties of metals and stones and woods which may be utilized in making an image are discussed—each affording the worshipper different benefits. [...] Then stones [are discussed]—their varieties, how to select and test them for quality, how to determine their “sex” and employ them accordingly, how to gather them [e.g., śilāsaṃgraha] and from where, which varieties to avoid, the rituals of removal from the ground, rites of purification, etc. (6b-85);
Shilpashastra (शिल्पशास्त्र, śilpaśāstra) represents the ancient Indian science (shastra) of creative arts (shilpa) such as sculpture, iconography and painting. Closely related to Vastushastra (architecture), they often share the same literature.
