Kama, from the Steamer. Artist(s): Grant, Colesworthy (1813-1880)
- Scope & Content:
-
‘Kama, from the Steamer.’
QUITTING Prome, about four hours steaming brings the voyager to the picturesque town of Kama, situated on the right bank of the river.
Here, rising from the centre of the town, is a very fine pagoda, which appears to have more than common claims to attention; but far more than by the pagoda itself is the eye arrested by a marvellous pair of gigantic griffins, or nondescript monsters, which, towering far above the dwellings of the people, upon the very margin of the river, form the colossal guardians of the entrance to the Temple; precisely after the manner of the winged Bulls and other figures in the Assyrian Courts. The height of these figures at Kama, as observed from the steamer, appeared to be about thirty feet.
