  • Burmese Buddhist Imagery of the Early Bagan Period (1044 – 1113) Buddhism Is an Integral Part of Burmese Culture
    Burmese Buddhist Imagery of the Early Bagan Period (1044 – 1113) 2 Volumes By Charlotte Kendrick Galloway A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University November 2006 ii Declaration I declare that to the best of my knowledge, unless where cited, this thesis is my own original work. Signed: Date: Charlotte Kendrick Galloway iii Acknowledgments There are a number of people whose assistance, advice and general support, has enabled me to complete my research: Dr Alexandra Green, Dr Bob Hudson, Dr Pamela Gutman, Dick Richards, Dr Tilman Frasch, Sylvia Fraser- Lu, Dr Royce Wiles, Dr Don Stadtner, Dr Catherine Raymond, Prof Michael Greenhalgh, Ma Khin Mar Mar Kyi, U Aung Kyaing, Dr Than Tun, Sao Htun Hmat Win, U Sai Aung Tun and Dr Thant Thaw Kaung. I thank them all, whether for their direct assistance in matters relating to Burma, for their ability to inspire me, or for simply providing encouragement. I thank my colleagues, past and present, at the National Gallery of Australia and staff at ANU who have also provided support during my thesis candidature, in particular: Ben Divall, Carol Cains, Christine Dixon, Jane Kinsman, Mark Henshaw, Lyn Conybeare, Margaret Brown and Chaitanya Sambrani. I give special mention to U Thaw Kaung, whose personal generosity and encouragement of those of us worldwide who express a keen interest in the study of Burma's rich cultural history, has ensured that I was able to achieve my own personal goals. There is no doubt that without his assistance and interest in my work, my ability to undertake the research required would have been severely compromised – thank you.

  • Some Evidence of Dance in Pagan
    Some Evidence of Dance in Pagan Kapila Vatsyayan In an article on the Dance Sculptures of Lara-Djonggrang (Pram­ banan)l, we had made a passing reference to two types of dancing figures from Burma. The first was a group of five bronze figures found in the Payama Pagoda of Srikshetra (ninth century) and the other, a painting of a dancer from the Pathothamya (also spelt as Pahto-thamya) temple (eleventh century). In addition to the evidence found in Srikshetra and in Pathothamya, there are examples from many other sites in Burma (specially Pagan) which speak of a flourishing tradition of music and dance. These examples of bronze, terracotta figures, wood carvings and wall painting clearly reflect an unmistakable affinity of approach towards movement articulation patterns within the geographical region comprising India, Sri Lanka and Burma. These are also allied to the prolific evidence of the dance found in Champa, Angkor and Prambanan and the sites of the Lopburi period in Thailand. In the article referred to above a comparative study was attempted of two categories of movement, cadences (karana-s) identified as the ghurnita, valita and the urdhvajanu of the Natyashastra system. In this paper we propose to focus our attention on the Burmese examples in relation to examples in other parts of contemporary Asia, more specifically India and Sri Lanka . The example in bronze of the group of mus1c1ans and dancers from Srikshetra referred to above is important from many points of view. Scholars have spoken of these most spectacular finds of bronzes as evidence in the plastic arts to support the description of a visit by a Pyu mission (including a music and dance troupe) in the Chinese annals (802 A.D.) .
