The intricate details and inventiveness of Thai design are centuries old. Re-creating ornate patterns from textiles, lacquerware, wood carvings, frescoes, paintings, architecture, masks, and other sources, these thirty original illustrations will thrill every colorist. Set against backgrounds of flowering vines and scrollwork, the spectacular black-and-white images include a dragon-driven chariot, mermaid princess, elegant peacock, epic heroes, sacred elephants, mythic beasts and demons, lotus blossoms, and much more. A truly beautiful, one-of-a-kind collection!
