  • Merit-Making and Monuments: an Investigation Into the Role of Religious Monuments and Settlement Patterning Surrounding the Classical Capital of Bagan, Myanmar
    MERIT-MAKING AND MONUMENTS: AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE ROLE OF RELIGIOUS MONUMENTS AND SETTLEMENT PATTERNING SURROUNDING THE CLASSICAL CAPITAL OF BAGAN, MYANMAR A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfill of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, Canada ã Copyright by Ellie Tamura 2019 Anthropology M.A. Graduate Program January 2020 ABSTRACT Merit-Making and Monuments: An Investigation into the Role of Religious Monuments and Settlement Patterning Surrounding the Classical Capital of Bagan, Myanmar Ellie Tamura Bagan, Myanmar’s capital during the country’s Classical period (c. 800-1400 CE), and its surrounding landscape was once home to at least four thousand monuments. These monuments were the result of the Buddhist pursuit of merit-making, the idea that individuals could increase their socio-spiritual status by performing pious acts for the Sangha (Buddhist Order). Amongst the most meritous act was the construction of a religious monument. Using the iconographic record and historical literature, alongside entanglement theory, this thesis explores how the movement of labour, capital, and resources for the construction of these monuments influenced the settlement patterns of Bagan’s broader cityscape. The findings suggest that these monuments bound settlements, their inhabitants, and the Crown, in a variety of enabling and constraining relationships. This thesis has created the foundations for understanding the settlements of Bagan and serves as a useful platform to perform comparative studies once archaeological data for settlement patterning becomes available. Keywords: Southeast Asia, Settlement Patterns, Bagan, Entanglement, Religious Monuments, Buddhism, Archaeology ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS For the past three years, I have been incredibly fortunate in having the opportunity to do what I love, in one of the most wonderful countries, none of which would have been possible without the support of an amazing group of people.

  • M Narrative Designs in Artworks from Burma/ Myanmar in the Náprstek
    ANNALS OF THE NÁPRSTEK MUSEUM 41/2 • 2020 • (pp. 71–91) NARRATIVE DESIGNS IN ARTWORKS FROM BURMA/ MYANMAR IN THE NÁPRSTEK MUSEUM COLLECTIONS Fiona Kerlogue – Dagmar Pospíšilová1 ABSTRACT: This article gives an overview of material from Burma/Myanmar in the collections of the Náprstek Museum, with a focus on three types: lacquerware, silverware, and embroidery. Examples from the collection are linked by their use of narrative scenes as devices to embellish the surfaces, especially scenes from the life of the Buddha and scenes from the stories of his previous lives. Historical scenes are often depicted on lacquerware from Bagan. Techniques employed to decorate the objects are very much the same today as they were when the majority of the items discussed were made, that is in the 19th century. KEYWORDS: Burma/Myanmar – Náprstek Museum collections – arts and crafts – silverwork – lacquerware – tapestry embroidery/kalaga ATERIALIA The Burmese2 collection of the Náprstek Museum contains around five hundred items M in a range of types and materials. They include sculptures in metal, sandstone, marble, and wood. Figural wood carving is represented by small statues of the seated Buddha, and of nats and demons, some coated with gold lacquer and some decorated with tiny spangles and coloured glass beads. Painted figures of dancers, monks and courtiers are also included in the museum collection. The art of metal casting is represented by weights in the shapes of animals, bells, as well as weapons, exemplified by the dha (sword). The collection also contains a few examples of clothing and textiles, toys and marionettes representing popular characters from the traditional theatre.

  • Buddhist Art of Myanmar Edited by Sylvia Fraser-Lu and Donald M. Stadtner (New York: Asia Society and New Haven: Yale University Press, 2015)
    R 327 Buddhist Art of Myanmar edited by Sylvia Fraser-Lu and Donald M. Stadtner (New York: Asia Society and New Haven: Yale University Press, 2015). ISBN 978 0 300 20945 7. US$65.00 This book was published to accompany an exhibition at the Asia Society Museum in 2015. Nine scholarly essays occupy eighty- eight pages, with a catalogue of 139 pages. Of seventy-one artifacts in the catalogue, thirty- one were loaned by the National Museums of Myanmar (13), the Sri Ksetra Archaeological Museum (7), the Bagan Archaeological Museum (9), and the Kaba Aye Buddhist Art Museum (2). Ten American institutions and individuals loaned the remainder. Most of the items from Myanmar date from the Classical period; most of the American items date from the 17th to the 20th century. The essays average seven pages in length, of which an appreciable proportion is occupied by photographs. Within these restrictions, the authors did an admirable job of distilling Myanmar history. The editors Sylvia Fraser-Lu and Donald Stadtner sumarize the history of the Archaeological Survey of Burma, founded in 1902, the Burma Research Society, important foreign collections of Myanmar art, and the progress of archaeology since independence in 1948. The next chapter, on foundation myths of Myanmar by Patrick Pranke and Donald Stadtner, describes the links between legends of Bagan, Inwa, Bago, Raikhine, Shan, and important sites in the country. The next chapter by U Tun Aung Chain complements those beliefs with a summary of Myanmar primary sources, including ancient inscriptions and more recent chronicles. Patrick Pranke provides a summary of Burmese Buddhism, which provides the necessary context for most of the works of art which constitute the main subject of this book.

  • Report on Bagan Metropolis Conference-Emoore (Illustrated)
    1 Report on Bagan Metropolis Conference Yangon and Bagan, 10-14 July 2017 Elizabeth Moore Figure 1 Paintings in the 12th century CE Abeyadana temple, planning on arrival at Bagan, viewing murals at the Abeyadana * All photographs taken at Bagan by the post-conference group Introduction The Bagan Metropolis Conference celebrated the Alphawood Foundation and the SOAS Alphawood Scholarships through new perspectives on the role of this ancient Buddhist kingdom of the 9th to 13th century CE. The tone of the conference was set by the Keynote speech of Dr Heather Elgood underlining the shared traditions between the Buddhist culture of Bagan and that of North East India. These connections were at the heart also of the Alphawood Scholars’ presentations. All brought innovative ways to frame the art and religion of Bagan. The SOAS scholarships are a unique opportunity for study focused on ancient Buddhist art as virtually all degree awarding scholarships abroad being for contemporary and social studies topics. Thus, the Alphawood Scholarships are truly an extraordinary boon in beginning the process of educational transformation in this country so deeply deprived by sanctions against military rule for many years. The Alphawood Alumni are the first hope for fresh perspectives on the extraordinary Buddhist art of Myanmar. Bagan, with its preservation of unrivalled paintings, sculpture and architecture of the 9th to 13th century CE, epitomizes the apex of this religious heritage within the wider ancient Buddhist world. The Bagan Metropolis Conference included senior professors and past, present and future Alphawood Scholars. The contrast between the elders’ close readings of 7/19/17 EM 2 ancient inscriptions and the new generation’s thinking on the meaning of the images and text, highlighted how the Alphawood Scholars are respecting their own traditions whilst bringing fresh ideas to the perception of Bagan.
