Prome: North Entrance of the Shwe San-dau Pagoda

Prome. North Entrance of the Shwe San-dau Pagoda

Linnaeus Tripe

Burmese Temples are usually, if the ground permit, on heights, the approach being by a flight of steps, guarded by Griffins: that shown above is very fine, the Griffins are eighty feet high, and with the carved gables of the roof, bristling with gilded vanes, form a magnificent approach to the golden Pagoda above.
