• Today is Vesak Day (Visaka Bucha in Thai), the day that the Buddha attained enlightenment (and also his birth and death!) This sculpture is from the 12th century, Bagan period, on display at the National Museum in Yangon. This pose is called ‘Bhumiparsa Mudra’, and depicts the moment of enlightenment when the Buddha touched the ground to summon the earth goddess to witness his attainment. #vesak #buddhism #bagan #buddha #sculpture #myanmar #yangon #nationalmuseumyangon #myanmararchaeology #southeastasianarchaeology
  • Today is Eid al-Fitr, the festival marking the end of a month-long fasting period for Muslims. It is a time for celebrating and family gathering, even as this year has been muted someone by the resurgence of Covid-19 in Southeast Asia. Wishing all of you who celebrate it Selamat Hariy Raya and Eid Mubarak!Image: Masjid Kapitan Keling, a 19th century mosque in George Town, Penang built by Indian Muslim traders.#eidmubarak #selamathariraya #masjidkapitankeling #georgetown #penang #malaysia #architecture #unescoworldheritage #malaysianarchaeology #southeastasianarchaeology #southeastasia

  • Discovered only in April 2020, this is the largest drum ever found in Thailand, with a diameter of 95 cm. This bronze drum was discovered in Mukdahan Province, and is dated to around 1,500 - 2,500 years ago. The drum was decorated with a star at the center and frog figures on the edges, while the side is decorated with human figures dressed with plumes riding on the boats. This was taken at the National Museum in Bangkok, but it is usually housed at the National Museum in Ubon Ratchathani. #bronze #drum #bronzedrum #dongsondrum #mukdahan #มุกดาหาร #thaiarchaeology #thailand #southeastasianarchaeology #southeastasia #nationalmuseumbangkok #nationalmuseumubonratchathani #bronzeage #dongsonCheck out more Thai Archaeology here: https://www.southeastasianarchaeology.com/thailand-archaeology/
  • Swipe right to see the invisible paintings! These are some of the faint red paintings in the upper level (the Bakan) of Angkor Wat which I discovered some years ago. This scene is a Khmer pinpeat - a musical ensemble traditionally used in the royal courts. Besides the large gongs hanging on the frame, you can see the gongs and the xylophones arrayed on a crescent-shaped frame. The musicians can be inferred from the red conical hats - the same hats that appear in the previous post. #angkorwat #angkor #pinpeat #khmermusic #khmerculture #invisiblepaintings #cambodianarchaeology #cambodia #southeastheastasia #southeastasianarchaeology #siemreap #traditionalmusic #mural #buddhistartYou can read about the Hidden Paintings of Angkor Wat here: https://doi.org/10.1017/S0003598X00101176
  • This bas-relief is from the northern side of Angkor Wat, the ones that were thought to be completed in a later period (around the 16th century). Here are a group of musicians or attendants carrying gongs, and they are all wearing conical red hats. In the next post, the paintings of musicians in the highest level of Angkor Wat also are depicted wearing conical red hats - which leads me to believe they were made around the same time. #angkorwat #basrelief #temple #angkortemples #siemreap #khmerculture #gong #angkor #khmerart #cambodianarchaeology #cambodia #southeastasia #southeastasianarchaeology #archaeologyFor more about Cambodian archaeology, check out my resource page here: https://www.southeastasianarchaeology.com/cambodia-archaeology/

  • Phoeng Hin Nok Kata (เพิงหินนกกระทา, or Patridge Rock) - one of these sandstone formations supposedly looks like a bird from the side. There was also traces of a Buddhist carving on the rock which has been destroyed in some previous time. The only remaining evidence for anthropogenic use is the array of post-holes used to install boundary markers (sema), indicating a sacred space. It was likely used from the Dvaravati to Lan Xang period (9th-18th century CE). #phuphrabathistoricalpark #phoenghinnokkata #เพิงหินนกกระทา #udonthani #udonthanithailand #thailand #thaiarchaeology #dvaravati #lanxang #semastone #southeastasia #southeastasianarchaeology #travelthailand #amazingthailand
