LAWKANANDA Trustee Secretary U Htin Lin Oo said that people can come and study the ancient unglazed clay-fired Jataka tablets in Ashayphatleik Pagoda and Anoutphatleik Pagoda near Bagan’s Lawkananda Swetawmyat Pagoda, NyaungU Township, Mandalay Region.
The
Ashayphatleik Pagoda and Anoutphatleik Pagoda are the works of the 11th century
AD. It is reported that the ancient unglazed Jataka tablets were found during
the clearing and repair of the broken brick ruins in the lower part of these
two pagodas around 1905.
When
it was originally built, there were connecting archways around the two pagodas.
Square-shaped
Jataka (stories) tablets and old artefacts have been found inside the base and
inner walls of the pagoda.
The
Jataka tablets that were found were arranged regularly and placed under
concrete roofs to prevent damage.
It
has been found that the upper part of the Anoutphatleik Pagoda is similar to
the Seinnyetnyima Pagoda.
To
the southwest of Ashayphatleik Pagoda and Anoutphatleik Pagoda are situated
Lawkananda Sweltawmyat Pagoda and the monument to Myanmar's tallest woman Daw
Zee Kwet (Zee Kwet Sein), to the south Lawkananda Garden and to the north
Seinnyetahma Pagoda, Kyaukmyethmaw Pagoda, Apalyadana Pagoda and Nagayon
Pagoda.
