The Burmese
nat-like
deity
Bo Bo Gyi
(fig.),
is in
Thailand known as
Thep Than Jai. This benevolent guardian
is classically depicted as a life-sized man, often holding a
walking stick in one hand while pointing with the index finger
of his other hand. It is basically the same deity but sometimes
depicted in a style more typically Thai, as can be seen in this
typically
Thai-style
chadah
crown.
