Laos Three Headed Elephant Pillows

3 Headed Elephant Design Style Original Kingdom Of Laos Flag

One of the most visited places in Bangkok is the Wat Arun temple complex, of which the central prang there is perhaps the most visually extraordinary structure. At about 70–80 metres tall, it dominates the site. The prang is encrusted with brightly coloured porcelain fragments and seashells, all arranged in the most intricate patterns. This image, captured on a wonderfully clear, cloudless day, shows a three-headed elephant that sits in a portal about two-thirds up the side of the prang. There's actually four of these elephants arranged around the prang.
