Bassein???
Hi Kubur,
If you check out this link you will note that Burma has been called Burma for centuries, and as far as I can see from the Wiki history it has never been called Bassein. Therefore one can not use the counties name change, as stated in your reply to Ian, as a dating aid to your dha. The country is of course now called Myanmar. Like others I would date your dha as LATE 20th c at the earliest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Myanmar Stu |

Yes I agree it is a town, now called Pathein. The point I was trying to make was how you think that your dha originated there, unless of course it says so on the piece, and how you can date it based on the info you have. I think it is fair to say that most replies to your thread seem to think that it is a late 20th c piece. Stu |
