This print showcases the intricate carving on a traditional wooden monastery, which was once an integral part of the Royal Palace complex in Mandalay, Myanmar. Known as Shwenandaw Kyaung or the Golden Palace Monastery, this architectural marvel served as King Mindon's personal apartment during his reign. The exquisite craftsmanship displayed in every detail of this monastery is truly awe-inspiring. The delicate carvings depict scenes from Buddhist mythology and religious motifs, showcasing the rich history and cultural heritage of Myanmar. Each stroke of the chisel brings to life a story that has withstood the test of time.
