  ohng yak

 

Thailand

Ohng yak, literally ‘giant water pot’, is the name given to a kind of gigantic earthen water pot, that is placed in the garden of houses in rural areas and used to collect and store rain water.

 

These ones in Angthong have been painted into colourful giant or yak faces, in a word play with the gigantic water pots. The red face is that of Ahkahttalai (fig.), the green that of Totsakan (fig.).
