Description:
Artisan Sakda paints this superb porcelain jar by hand with traditional Benjarong motifs. The bulbous body is topped by a lotus-bud knob on a dome-shaped cover. The contours feature "Thepanom," a celestial being, and "Norasingh," a mythical creature from the legendary Himmapan forest.
The Himmapan forest is said to be located in the Himalaya mountains. The mythical creatures that dwell in the forest are combined animals, such as "Thep Kinnaree". "Kinnaree" is half-woman, half swan, with the head, arms and torso of a woman and the legs and wings of a swan.
Benjarong, which means "five colors" in Sanskrit, is a traditional style of hand-painted Thai porcelain.
