Boundary marker

SculptureBoundary marker

The top boundary marker has a pointing edge. It is craved with Indra, his consort and Erawan elephant. Indra is seated in “Lalitasana” posture and holds thunder in his left hand. The tree at the back is assumed to be Parichart, the tree of the second heaven where Indra dwells. On his left, there are 3 people and 1 bird. These are all his consorts including Suthamma, Sujittra, Sunandha, and Suchada who was reborn as an egret because she had not had enough merits. At the back of the consorts, there is “kanok” pattern of Dvaravati style. On the right of Indra, there is an Erawan elephant.
