Nang yai uses large sheets of leather cowhide (nang) elaborately carved into framed images, often from the Ramakien. This one shows
Phra Ram
(fig.) in his chariot, accompanied by
Hanuman
(fig.).
Either side normally has a wooden handle to hold the image up and to prevent the leather sheet from bending. This one shows
Phra In
(fig.) on his
white elephant
Erawan (fig.).
