This print showcases a stunning Reliquary in the shape of a stupa, created by the Siamese School and currently housed at the Ayutthaya National Museum in Ayutthaya, Thailand. The relic was discovered within the crypt of Wat Ratburana, adding to its historical significance. A stupa is an architectural structure that serves as a repository for Buddhist relics, and this particular one is crafted from exquisite gold. The intricate carvings on this ecclesiastical artifact are truly remarkable. Its ornate design features pointed spires and decorative patterns that adorn every inch of its surface.

The sharp spike atop the stupa adds to its grandeur while symbolizing enlightenment and transcendence. This relic stands as a testament to Thailand's rich cultural heritage and religious traditions.
