Pugahm Myo: Carved Doorway in courtyard of Shwe Zeegong Pagoda

Linnaeus Tripe British

Not on view

The elaborately carved Shwe Zeegong Pagoda was the most popular Buddhist pilgrimage site at Pugahm Myo. As Tripe noted, it was "one of the favourite places of worship in Burma on account of the tooth-relic from Ceylon" and a "frontal bone" relic of Buddha inside the stupa.
