Sigiriya Art at the National
Museum of Colombo
Very special to climb the stairs at
the National Museum and find a whole gallery
featuring the art of Sigiriya.
On one wall we found these Veddah, Veddha or Vedda paintings. These are minority people living in Sri
Lanka and are now in threat of becoming extinct. Most speak Sinhala as their
indigenous languages have all but disappeared. It has been hypothesised that the
Veddah were probably the earliest inhabitants of Sri
Lanka and have lived on the island before the arrival of
Vijaya and his clan from India.
After enjoying Sigiriya yesterday it
was special to see the art today, then we moved on to the next gallery.
ALL IN ALL AMAZINGLY
COLOURFUL FOR THE AGE
WONDERFULLY
