Portrait of
Somdet
Phra
Yannasangwon,
Somdet Phra Sangkharat,
Supreme Patriarch
of
Thailand
and abbot of
Wat Bowonniwet Wihaan Racha,
sitting in
half lotus position
next to his
pad yot
or
talapat.
In the top right corner are his initials (ญ.ส.ส.)
underneath a three-layered parasol called
chattra,
while in the background, the faint silhouette of one of the
bai sema,
that −unlike the usual free-standing structures− is built-in on the
outer wall of the
ubosot
of Wat Bowonniwet Wihaan Racha,
is visible (fig.). |
