Scope note:

Refers to the culture associated with a city-kingdom in ancient Burma that flourished from about 1 CE to 9 CE and encompasses the southern regions Binnaka, Mongamo, Sri Ksetra, and Halingyi. Architecture in the region features vaulted temples, houses, palaces, and monasteries built of timber, roofed with tiles of lead and tin, and containing walls comprised of glazed brick. Decorative arts and crafts within households included kitchen utensils made from gold and household figurines made from gold, green glass, jade, and crystal. Cylindrical stupas or large burial urns of various dimensions adorned the periphery of the kingdom's city walls and temples.
