Summary
| Description |
English: This head-dress set with jewels formed part of a gold hoard dating to the 15th century Mon City State of Pegu. It is believed to be the ceremonial helmet worn by the Mon Princess Shin Saw Pu<"Rajadhiraj's Rangoon Relics and a Mon Funerary Stupa", Journal of the Siam Society, vol. 103 (2015), pp. 63-88.> (r.1453-1460). Shaped like a turban the dome is moulded to possibly fit a coiled length of hair which was held in place by the long pin passed through the holes at the base. The unusual appendage with the lozenge shaped depression may have held a jewel and was worn to the front over the princess's nose. It was excavated by labourers when building barracks on the site of an old small pagoda southeast of the Shwedagon Pagoda, Rangoon in 1855 and now at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Dimensions - Height: 19.7 cm, Diameter: 21.5 cm maximum |
