[Buddha-l] More Buddhist angels?

[jkirk]

The link is not specific so here is how to get to the image. Someone just
asked me, and I realized nobody could find the image if left to their own
devices unless they have hours at their disposal!
First go to the link supplied below, then click Myanmar on left sidebar,
then go down list to Mandalay, then click on Shwenandaw Kyaung
Temple-------you get thumbnails, then click on 1st image in 2d row from top.
