Subject: |
The silhouettes of Thai-style
pagodas
and house roofs, with in the background the
prang-like
chedi
of
Wat Arun,
surrounded by spotlights, that are aimed at an overhead sphere with a
partial world map on which the continent of Asia is highlighted. The sphere
also depicts two ears of grain and a dancing
thevada,
similar to the one on the
escutcheon of Buriram
and
Phra
Narai
on the
escutcheon of Lopburi. |
