| Sumario: | Whereas the historical connections of Bagan with India, Ceylon or China from the eleventh to thirteenth centuries are generally known, the art-historical consequences of these exchanges have only partly been appreciated. The purpose of this paper is to present unpublished aspects of late thirteenth-century murals found in some temples at the site and which are more particularly related to the Yuan connection. The overwhelming presence of ornamental motifs with a Chinese or Mongol origin aside, specific iconographic motifs, e.g., the representation of Mongols, the depiction of dreadful door-keepers, or the image of the short-necked Buddha will presently retain our attention. |
