Silleh-myo.. Artist(s): Grant, Colesworthy (1813-1880)
- Scope & Content:
-
‘Silleh-myo.’
ABOUT three hours steaming brought the flotilla to Silleh Myo, a town on the east bank; at some former time, says Colonel Symes ‘an ancient city, which once had been a place of considerable note.’ It was said to be famous for its silk manufacture or trade, but nothing of it was now found. Even the Burmah boxes sold here were not made in the place. Several objects of antiquity and interest, however, were found to excite attention and curiosity. Amidst a great number of new and novel shaped pagodas were the remains of numerous ancient temples, which, from the dates of inscriptions found upon one of them, were supposed to be about 270 years old.
