We have a book coming out on this subject next year to be published by Brepols. It will be called « Moving (Indian) Images in the First Millennium » (or something similar) and is the product of a seminar series I designed and co-organized at NYU-ISAW in 2021-2022 called « Indian Ocean Figures that Sailed Away <https://isaw.nyu.edu/research/io-figures> ». The supporting website is active if you’d like to learn more. Please look out for the book which features essays from participants in the series.
