The royal emblem of King
Rama IV consists of the
Phra Maha Phichai Mongkut or ‘Great Crown of
Victory’, a royal
chadah, i.e. a Thai style of
conical crown (fig.),
flanked by two multi-layered parasols known as
chattra (fig.),
which are a symbol of kingship, and accompanied by some
flame-patterned
kranok motifs (fig.). |
