Scope note
Refers to one of many ethnic cultures of modern Myanmar. It also identifies the last capital of the Burmese empire built in 1857-1859 on the Irrawaddy River by King Mindon before the fall of Burma to British imperialists in 1885. Architectural art in this region reflects Italian influences as depicted in composite temple and monastery structures comprised of stone and native wood.
