The size of the mounted rubbing is approximately 15.5” x 12.75” The custom frame was done by Lantern Lane Gallery in Houston, Texas. Wat Pho, also spelled Wat Po, is a Buddhist temple complex in the Phra Nakhon District, Bangkok, Thailand. The walls are covered in marble reliefs depicting scenes from the Buddhist epic legend of The Ramakien. The Ramakien tells the story of the battle between good (King Rama) and evil (Tosakanth, the King of the Demons), involving armies of deities, supernatural beings, humans and animals in an epic struggle. Characters and scenes from the Ramakien are depicted in the temple rubbings. Temple rubbings were made by an artist who would place a piece rice paper, on the surface of a temple wall which has raised relief carvings, and transfers the surface carving onto the paper by rubbing with oil pastels. In an effort to preserve historic sites, these are no longer allowed to be crafted.
