Abstract:	The article explores the relationship of a local tradition of nine <i>Shwe-gu</i> or “golden caves” and the 11 <i>khayaing</i> of Kyaukse, the rice fields that supplied Bagan. Drawing on survey and ongoing work at the Ta Mok <i>khayaing Shwe-gu-gyi</i>, we profile a local specificity essential to and yet far from the courts of 11th-17th century Bagan, Pinya and Inwa. In its multiple encasements of images and architecture, the Ta Mok <i>Shwe-gu-gyi</i> records a transition from the visual complexity of Bagan period <i>gu</i> to the more iconic structures of the Pinya and Inwa eras.
