Bamboo strip lacquer Buddha image
The Bamboo strip lacquer Buddha Image lies in
Pinmagon Monastery, of Pinmagon Village, Kalaw
Township, south of Shan State. It was estimated to
have been established in First Inn-wa Period over
500 years ago. The donors were hard to ascertain and
there were no records but its head was sharp
upright, its ears were not touching the shoulders
and the nether garment was covered for the whole of
its lower parts.
So it was believed to be historic. It is eight
feet four inches high. It is noted for its
longevity, its prevention of fire, and its
wish-granting powers. Occasionally radiation seemed
to come from the pagoda at the front of image. The
image is now lacquered and gilded all the way. |
