  Wat Suthat window panels

 

Thailand

These inner window panels at the ubosot (fig.) of Wat Suthat Thepwarahrahm in Bangkok are decorated with guardians, i.e. two deities, of which the one on the right tramples upon a demon. Akin to Phra Phrom Sih Nah, the one on the left has four faces and multiple arms, and holds certain attributes reminiscent of to those of Brahma (fig.). This design was printed on a Thai postage stamp issued in 2008 as part of a set of four stamps on portal guardians.
