                          A Battle scene in a Ramakien mural
                        painting on a cloister wall around the

                           temple of the Emeral Bhudda (Wat
                                Phra Sri Rattana Satsadaram),

                             Bangkok, initiated in the late 18th
                                century. Although the painting

                        underwent several major restorations,
                          this century-old Ramakien painting
                              retains the style of early Bangkok
                          traditional painting and also depicts

                        the complete story of Ramakien along
                         with an accompanying text inscribed

                                                   on stone slabs.

                                                                Thailand KHON 23
