View looking towards the covered flight of steps leading up to the Shwasandaw Pagoda, flanked in the foreground by massive guardian chinthes. Letterpress continues: 'Burmese temples are usually, if the ground permit, on heights, the approach being by a flight of steps, guarded by Griffins [chinthes]: that shown above is very fine, the Griffins are eighty feet high, and with the carved gables of the roof, bristling with gilded vanes, form a magnificent approach to the golden Pagoda above'.
