Abstract
- "Burmese Silver from the Colonial Period" is a catalog of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Burmese silver objects collected by Graham Honeybill, a retired British banker. The book, authored by Dr. Alexandra Green, provides an extended interpretive essay and a catalog of 120 objects, accompanied by 250 color photographs. Green's essay covers various aspects of colonial Burmese silver objects, including their production, use, and artistic influences from China, India, Thailand, and Europe. The catalog provides detailed information on each object's date of production, dimensions, weight, inscriptions, and central imagery. Overall, the book offers valuable insights into the study of Burmese silver and serves as a comprehensive guide for both academics and nonacademics interested in colonial Burmese silver objects.
