EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the elegant and graceful performance of renowned Burmese dancer, Sein Kho, in traditional Burmese attire during the 1910s. Sein Kho was a celebrated figure in Myanmar's rich cultural heritage, particularly known for his expertise in the ancient Burmese dance forms, including the operatic dance style, 'Pyu Saw Htee.' In this image, Sein Kho is depicted on stage, poised with a sword in his right hand, ready to execute a dynamic and intricate dance move. His costume, a stunning example of Burmese traditional attire, consists of a long, flowing robe, intricately designed with gold and silver thread embroidery, adorned with precious stones. The dancer's headdress, or 'htamein,' is a magnificent piece of art in itself, featuring a tall, conical shape, adorned with gold and precious stones, and topped with a golden umbrella. The backdrop of the photograph is a simple, yet elegant setting, with a red curtain and traditional decorative elements, adding to the authenticity and charm of the scene. Sein Kho's intense focus and the dramatic lighting create an enchanting atmosphere, transporting us back in time to witness the beauty and grandeur of Burmese dance and culture. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of Burmese art and tradition, and the captivating performances of its talented artists, such as Sein Kho, who continue to inspire and enchant audiences to this day.
