Doug with U Win Pe - Pegu
Doug with U Win Pe - Pegu - Doug with his tutor, U Win Pe Win Pe took us to the 10th Century pagoda of the golden duck - a curious parallel to our dove from the Ark. Pegu in that period was a sea port and legend is that a royal duck flew in and landed on the high peak. There being not enough room for the female to land beside him, she alighted on his back, as seen in the statue, and symbolic of all Pegu wives ever since, who are notoriously able to keep their husbands under their thumbs. Date: 1952

10th 1952 Curious Doug Dove Duck Pagoda Parallel Pegu Tutor
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1952, Doug is seen with his Burmese tutor, U Win Pe, in front of the 10th Century Pagoda of the Golden Duck in Pegu, Myanmar. The ancient pagoda, a testament to the rich history of the region, holds an intriguing story. According to legend, a royal duck flew in from the sea and landed on the high peak of the pagoda. With limited space, the female duck perched on the back of the male, symbolizing the strength and influence of Pegu wives. Pegu, during that period, was a significant sea port, and this curious parallel to the biblical story of Noah's dove from the Ark adds an interesting layer to the history of the region. The 1950s were an exciting time, and Doug's journey to Myanmar brought him closer to the fascinating culture and traditions of the country. The photograph captures a moment of learning and discovery, with Doug absorbing the knowledge imparted by his tutor, U Win Pe. The serene setting of the pagoda and the golden hue of the sun add to the tranquility and beauty of the scene. The image transports us back to the 1950s, offering a glimpse into a bygone era and the rich tapestry of history that continues to inspire and intrigue us today.
