Burmese Animal-per-day System |
|
The
Burmese system of an animal-per-day as depicted at many
temples throughout
Myanmar. Shown here are statues
from
Mahuna Phaya, a
Buddhist temple near
Bagan.
The above pictures are depicted in linear, chronical order, though in
reality they are placed
in a circle, often with a
bodhi tree
in its center, or around a
pagoda,
and ordered in a different way, according to an ancient system which
is also found in charts (fig.).
