This object represents local Chiang Mai art. It is made of teak wood and a special technique has been used to create it. First a layer of lacquer was applied and after that it was painted with a red colour from the root of the Chaa tree. It was finished with a cover of gold leaf. Pieces of coloured glass were added for more decoration. This image has Burmese influence. Normally only one layer of lacquer was applied and nothing else. I have only seen one more piece with this type of elaborate decoration.
