Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are advised that ANU Library collections may include images, names, voices, and other representations of deceased persons.

Material in the collection may contain terms, language or views that reflect the period in which the item was created and may be considered inappropriate today.

Description

This is a closer view of the entrance gateway on the left and the small shrines at the foot of the Shwedagon pagoda on the right. The woman bending over, on the right, is looking for tiny jewels which may have been thrown at the shrines and then rolled back on the walk.
