No. 21. Pugahm Myo [Pagan]. East facade of Damayangyee Pagoda. Photographer: Tripe, Linnaeus
- Scope & Content:
-
Inscription: Signed 'L. Tripe' in ink, bottom right of print (indistinct).
Genre: Architectural Photography
Close view of the east facade of the Dhammayangyi Pagoda, showing entrance archway with characteristic carved decorations. With letterpress note: 'The Pagoda of which this is a part, is one of the best examples of design, and in some parts of it, of workmanship at Pugahm. It is about 30 feet larger in length and breadth than Thapinyu. It is very ruinous. In the vestibule on the east face, the vaulting of brickwork has been laid bare, and shows less careful work in that important part, than in the walls below. This, withi its having been more neglected than the other temples, may account for its dilapidated condition. The central aisles have been blocked up, but not so carefully as to escape notice. This shuts up all the centre of the building; for what purpose is unknown. A strong wall 12 feet high, surrounds it. It dates from about the year 1154 A.D.'
