Maquette Temple at The Sainsbury Centre of Visual Art, Norwich

This charming miniature temple sits four buddhas facing out of each side. It was discovered in Burma, South East Asia, and was probably found outside of a smaller buddhist temple. The sculpture has fine, beautiful carvings around its columns and roof.   This object is part of Scan The World.
