EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Royal Golden Barge of Burma, also known as the Shwe Phaungdawgyi or Shoepaundogee Barge, dating back to approximately 1795. The barge, an essential part of Burmese royal heritage, is a magnificent example of Eastern Asian boat-building craftsmanship from the 1790s. The barge's ornate and elaborate design reflects the rich cultural history of Burma. Adorned with intricate gold leaf decorations and intricately carved wooden figures, the barge is a testament to the artistic prowess of the Burmese people. The barge's prow proudly displays a dragon head, a symbol of power and strength, while the oars, held by figures representing various deities, are poised to propel the vessel forward. The Shwe Phaungdawgyi Barge was used for various royal transport purposes, including the transportation of the revered Buddha images during the annual procession held at Inle Lake. The barge's significance extends beyond its practical use, as it is also a symbol of the Burmese monarchy's wealth and power. The photograph, taken from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and opulence of Burmese royalty during the late 18th century. The image captures the essence of the Eastern world's oriental beauty and the intricate details of the barge's design, making it a must-see for anyone interested in history, art, or Asian culture.
