A pwe is a form of traditional Burmese performance combining music, dance and drama which was staged during pagoda festivals and by travelling troupes in rural villages. This is a view outdoors of numerous Burmese girls in classical dance poses, wearing traditional costume. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Klier, Philip Adolphe | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
