| We encountered a team of scholars documenting frescoes and
inscriptions in a small library near the Shwe War Thein Handicraft
Shop. They were doing a thorough job, and the result will probably be
an authoritative book. They said the library was probably built in 1705
and inscriptions on the walls were in the Burmese language. We would
not have gone into this place if they had not been there, and we were
grateful that they let us take a look at the interesting paintings
which were still in fairly good condition. |
