brown nun w burmese script

I found the Burmese script, here in the rounded, printed form, but looking remarkably different everywhere I turned, was nearly impossible to decipher, certainly not in my brief time there. Loved this pensive young woman against the writing, the earth tones.

Bagan, Myanmar.

How beautiful she is -
I assume that's a sign or something...
that it's not something she wrote so regularly.

Poised, elegant image of a woman. The script repeats the curved shape of her ear.

That script is actually the list of foods and it's not a hand writing so she must be standing in front of a shop.
