Well well, check this link:

the gandharva figures on either side of the central figure andonebelow it
are winged.
I can't make out clearly the others......
>From the Shwe-Kyaung-pyi monastery--remainder of King Mindon's palaces built
in mid 19th c, therefore one infers that the winged angel image types were
inspired by western art through contact of the British and their cultural
baggage.
