Tsagain Myo: Litters under a shed.

Linnaeus Tripe British

Not on view

Litters, or palanquins, were used to transport members of the royal family or important monks. Their size, shape, and manner of decoration varied according to the status of the occupant. Tripe’s photograph of these abandoned litters hints at the British fascination with the ritual and regalia of Burmese court protocol.
