EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art, the "Skein-winder in the form of an alligator with the head of a Naga". This exquisite wooden sculpture is attributed to the Thai School and can be found at the Jim Thompson House in Bangkok, Thailand. The skein-winder itself takes on a unique form, resembling an alligator with a Naga's head. The Naga, revered as both a Hindu and Buddhist deity in the shape of a great snake, adds an element of mysticism to this ornate creation. Its intricate carving and attention to detail highlight the craftsmanship prevalent during the Bangkok Period or Kingdom of Siam (1782-1932). Dating back to either the 18th or 19th century, this decorative tool served its purpose as part of domestic life. Used for winding yarn into skeins for textile production or other purposes, it seamlessly blends functionality with artistic expression. The combination of reptilian features and zoomorphic design elements makes this piece truly mesmerizing. The serpent-like body intertwined with rattanakosin kingdom-inspired patterns further emphasizes its cultural significance within Thai traditions. As we admire this photograph by eLuca Tettoni from Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical value. It serves as a testament to Thailand's rich heritage and artistic legacy that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
