Myanmar Arts and culture Historically, Burmese art was based on Buddhist or Hindu cosmology and myths. There are several regional styles of Buddha images, each with certain distinctive characteristics. For example, the Mandalay style, which developed in the late 1800s, consists of an oval-shaped Buddha with realistic features, including naturally curved eyebrows, smaller but still prominent ears, and a draping robe. In addition to the traditional arts are silk weaving, pottery, tapestry making, gemstone engraving, and gold leaf making.
