antefix |
|
|
The
antefix is an ornament pointing skywards at the bottom
end of a roof, usually at the extension of a
bai raka. In Thai slang it is
called a
ngao, literally a 'hook'. On Buddhist temples
it is known as the
hang hongse (swan's tail),
since it has an ornamental form like the tail of a
hongse. |
