Antique Burmese Temple Painting on Tin

About the Item

A large, beautiful and very unusual antique Burmese temple painting on tin. This Buddhist painting displays seven figures against a stunning background of worn and naturally faded pink and green paint. A simply framed piece that virtually glows on the wall. And the hand painted, graceful and rounded Burmese script hand painted on the top and bottom of the painting lends interest, authenticity and allure to this quietly colorful composition. A genuinely spiritual piece that conveys a sense of history and place, while also creating a feeling of calm and peace.
