Royal Portrait of
Queen
Sirikit
of the Ninth Reign.
The queen, who has been a lifelong supporter and
fervent
propegator of Thai silk called
Mai Thai, is
wearing a
dark
red
pah sompak-like
silk dress over a
brown
sarong
and is portrayed against a pale blue background, the colour associated with
her birthday, which corresponds to a Friday in the
sih prajam wan-system.
She is seated on the
floor in the
phab phiab pose, i.e. with the legs folded
back to one side, and leans against a triangular
mon ing
cushion.
On her side are two yellow flowers, the colour associated with Monday, i.e.
the
birthday of her
late husband King
Rama IX. In the
top
right corner is the Queen's royal cipher, that consists of her initials
underneath a
chadah-style
crown. |
