Other mural in Wat Pa Daet

Back in Mae Chaem I show my photo from an other painting on the wall inside the assembly hall of Wat Pa Daet.
The famous murals which line the walls date from around the 1820s and were created by a Chinese artist on the order of Prince Dhammalanka, the ruler of Chiang Mai.
The mural is one of the best examples of Lanna art and are not only beautiful to look at but also give a fascinating glimpse into the way of life, customs and dress of the Lanna people around this time.
Unfortunately, the mural, despite restoration, is quite badly decayed partly due to the practice of painting on dry instead of wet plaster, although most of the figures in murals can be seen at least in part.
