Notes

Abstract:
Inner Museum, Southeast Vestibule, Cabinet 9. --- Reclining marble Buddha image with inlaid lacquer decoration and gilding (front), gilded lacquer hsun ok (back), two gold and silver-coloured vases of flowers (left and right). A series of wall murals painted on sheets of tin by the Shan artist Kan Lwun (1915-1985) are mounted above the cabinets in this and the other corner vestibules. The works are thought to have been originally painted by his teacher U Saw Maung, a renowned artist from Mandalay. Kan Lwun therefore signed both his own name as 'acolyte Kan Lwun' and that of his teacher '(Mandalay Alinga Kyawzwa) U Saw Maung' and dated the murals 1965. Cabinet not dated. Donor credit: Nyaung Shwe Town. Military defence unit officer-in-charge Ko Tun Sein and soldiers. [Their] meritorious deed. ( en )
