SculptureWooden sculpture of four Devaduttas

In Mandalay art, each temple is normally decorated with wooden dolls telling the Buddha life and stories such as the four stages of life : the elderly, the sick, the dead and the monk. These sculptures usually appear in the set and they are realistic showing the wrinkles of the body and distended body. This relaistic aspect is another developmental step of Myanmese sculpture as well as showing the western influence.
