Throne, Hlut-Taw [Mandalay]. Photographer: Johannes and Company, J.N.
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
General view of the Lion Throne in the Great Audience Hall in the Palace at Mandalay. A note on the mount gives the dimensions ('Height of Throne from floor to top 30 feet. Width to outside of horns 21 feet') while another note identifies part of the throne in poor condition. The photo graphs were evidently supplied to the Viceroy for conservation or restoration purposes. An accompanying letter from the Indian Museum, Calcutta, dated 25th March 1904, encloses sketches of part of the throne balustradeand mentions 'woodwork to be sent to Government', presumably part of the repairs to the throne.
