megalithic relief sculpture South of Tagantha village, near Halin
Version: (e58a53b), last modified (c4e1250).
Bibliography
First mentioned in ASI, which notes a long inscription on the filet separating the two panels of bas reliefs, reportedly worn away by “peasants sharpening their knives on it”. Le May 1956, p. 47 and Aung Thaw [Aoṅ sau] 1972, p. 12 more or less reiterate the ASI report. Luce, in Luce 1985, pp. I, 53, 58 n. 43, 149–50, provides an overview. The only attempt at transcribing this inscription is Sein Win [cin vaṅḥ] 2016, pp. 29–30, who manages to transliterate (in Burmese script) about a dozen akṣaras.
