Prathin depicts the magnificence of the Subhannahong, or "Golden Swan Ship," the ship belonging to the actual King of Thailand. In olden days, whenever a Thai king wished to travel on a barge, he would be escorted by a procession of up to 100 ships in a procession called Phayuha Yatra. The ships would fall into a war-like formation to ensure the king's safety. Today, the King of Thailand travels on the Subhannahong when he takes offerings to the monks at the royal temple; according to popular belief, it is a sign of good luck to be able to see the king in his royal barge.
The artisan works in the traditional lacquer techniques of Northern Thailand and the images are meticulously etched by hand.
