No. 102. Rangoon. Signal Pagoda. Photographer: Tripe, Linnaeus
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
General view of the temple, with chinthes facing the roadway at the entrance. The circular object hanging from a yard at the top of the pagoda is presumably a time ball. Letterpress continues: 'From this a very extended view of the town and river can be had. It is used as a signal station because of the distance at which a ship coming up the river can be descried. It is also known as Sale's Pagoda'. The Sale referred to is Sir Robert Henry Sale, who was stationed on the site with a picket during the First Burmese War.
Subjects = architectural elements; Burmese architecture; Burmese architecture (Buddhist); chinthes (Burmese temple guardian figures); Indian sculpture; temples
