Golden Bas Relief at Wat Mai in Luang Prabang, Laos
This exquisite gilded bas relief is one of the panels that decorate the porch of the main temple building, called a sim, at Wat Mai. It illustrates scenes from the reincarnation of Buddha along with images that represent life in local villages. Although The New Monastery was built during the 19th century, these panels were not added until the late 1960s.
