About the Item
Vintage Thai Temple charcoal rubbing. Hand crafted temple scenes at the Wat Pho temple located in Phra Nakhon district in Bangkok Thailand depicting the Thai literary story of Ramakien (Ramakean), the Thai adaptation of Ramayana.
Rare Thai Temple rubbings authentic temple rubbing Wat Pho Thailand with classical Tai dancers.
This is based on evidence from several rubbings showing the same carved scenes depicting the story of Ramakien on the Ubosot walls, a building in the Buddhist Wat that is the holiest prayer room at the Wat Pho temple (The Wat Pho temple located in Phra Nakhon district in Bangkok Thailand) and it has these particular carvings on the outside of the Ubosot temple, carved on granite/marble squares.
The artists would put rice paper on these walls and produce a rubbing of various scenes from Ramakien before it was outlawed by the Thai government.
The rubbing for sale are original temple rubbings and are no longer allowed in Thailand. In the late 1960’s/ early 1970’s the Thai government outlawed and banned this practice of producing rice paper charcoal rubbings from the temple walls in order to preserve the detail and original beauty of the temple carvings.
Religious and Inspirational scene of two Thai dancers.

Batuan painting evolved in the 1930s after a group of local villagers tested different forms with ink-washed paintings upon black backgrounds. These paintings often reveal Batuan’s cultural life, directly through their elements of line, shape, and tone. Meticulous design, craftsmanship, and strong visual impression are characteristic of the style.
The painting comprise individual shapes which are painted in a precise and systematic manner that does not leave any empty space. The complexity of the paintings is inevitable as each of the strokes, lines, gradations, the characters or the subjects forms a delicate unity that finely balances the figure-filled canvas. Various gradations of colors separate different sections of the painting. The landscape is enticing and endless.
