File:No. 87 Pagoda in Akyab.png

English: From the work: "There are... some hazy traditions still lingering among the Arakanese which connect four small pagodas situated on a low sandy ridge to the north-west of Akyab town with the famous Selgiri tradition of Gotama... they are called the Ankyeit or Akyattaw (from the latter is derived the name "Akyab")... or the shrine of the "back part of Gotama's jaw"... The ridge on which they stand is known as the Akyatkundaw. The erection of the original pagodas, the traces of which are still seen, is said to date back to the 16th century; they fell into disrepair and lately new "temples" were erected on the old foundations... The latter is built on the circular fundament, measuring 113' in circumference, of the old stone temple of the same name; the superstructure erected in 1873 by Po Tha Zan of Akyab is all brickwork; its height is 20'. There are no niches, images, flowered or any other designs on them or the rest of these four pagodas, which have probably few equals in Burma in point of ugliness and total want of any feature of art, architecture, or archaeological interest."
