Pyu Era is recorded to have lasted from 2nd to 8th century BCE.  Both men and women wore bangles and wristlets and they had their hair tied up in a top-knot bun.  The distinguished character of Pyu Era was the minting and use of coins.  During the era, the first Buddhist stupas, temples, and pagodas in Myanmar were constructed and worshipped.
