Description:
Bangkok: Orchid Press, 2001. Burmese wooden monasteries and related pavilions have not received the scholarly attention they deserve, which is particularly unfortunate, considering their rapid deterioration as a result of neglect and the damp tropical climate in which they are located. This book introduces the reader to the beauty and genius of Burmese wood craftsmanship as expressed in the construction and embellishment of Buddhist wooden monasteries. Includes a description of the development of Buddhism and monasteries in Burma, the place of monks and monasteries in society and the processes involved in the building of a monastery. The author then describes some ninety extant monasteries in detail, accompanied by floor plans and lavish photography. An obvious labour of love, the book was some twenty years in the making. 344 pp., over 200 colour plates, 150 drawings, map, dynastic table, glossary, bibliography, index . First Edition. Hard Cover. New/new. 28.5 x 22 cm.
