Maung Tha (Archaeology)

YANMAR has been preserving many historic bells similar to the royal bells of kings in Konbaung era. The bell M which returned from England hung on the platform of Shwehsandaw Pagoda in Pyay is one of the historic ones. The bell is significant because it reached Britain from Shwehsandaw Pagoda of Pyay and returned to home.
