Description :
Scene of The Ramakien - A Vintage Thai Temple Rubbing Vintage Original Thai temple rubbing featuring a scene from the Ramakien, from Wat Pho in Bangkok. Traditionally created by placing paper over stone carvings and rubbing with charcoal or colored wax to capture the image. This rubbing depicts the monkey warrior Hanuman discovering the demon king Ravana sleeping with his wife, Mandodari. Similar rubbings were popular souvenirs for travelers and military personnel visiting Bangkok during the 1960s and 1970s. Due to wear on the original stone reliefs, making new rubbings is now banned, making existing ones historical souvenirs. Black wood frame surrounds this rubbing and measures 24.75”x25”
