Abstract

Pattern, flora of the guardian, decorate the stupa, Phra Sri Sanphet temple of Ayutthaya. The age of the work should be around the beginning of the 21st century Buddhist era, during the reign of King Rama III. The patterns found include patterns from Chinese porcelain art. The patterns like Thai art are blended and some parts are derived from the idea of ​​Lanna art. Importing into Chinese porcelain art probably related to trade relations and diplomatic relations between China and Ayutthaya. That has been traded since the first era of the city, which is passed on to inspire artisans to create works of art in this Ayutthaya period.
