Kaungh Mu Daw Pagoda from Myanmar


Postcard
The Kaungh Mu Daw Pagoda is a large pagoda on the northwestern outskirts of Sagaing in central Myanmar (Burma). It is known for its egg-shaped design, which stands out among more traditional-style, pyramid-shaped Burmese pagodas.

The enormous dome rises 46 m (151 feet) in the shape of a perfect hemisphere and was modeled after the Maha Zeti Pagoda in Ceylon.


Stamp
Myanmar Harp (Saung) used in traditional Burmese music.



It travelled more than three months because it was "missent to Thailand".
