"In 1973, Jane Terry Bailey set out on her journey to Burma. Despite various technical problems with her camera, she managed to produce three articles, in 1976, 1978, and 1979 respectively, on Burmese wall paintings from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries. While these bear evidence of some of her difficulties, they amply illustrate the variety of styles of painting found in post- Pagan Burma. In re-working and adding to some of Bailey?s story identifications, it is possible to view the murals at Tilokaguru cave-temple more closely within a religious context. Religion, more than the style of the paintings, was clearly of paramount importance to the Burmese who contributed to the construction and decoration of the cave. The connection between the organisation of the murals and the architecture is evident, as is a hierarchical vertical progression from Hell near the floor of the cave to Enlightenment near the ceiling. Clearly, Jane Terry Bailey?s work just began to uncover the richness of wall paintings in Burma, and there is much yet to explore."
