Temple doors

This exquisitely carved wooden temple door, assigned to the late 18th century, displays a pattern very similar to a famous mother-of-pearl cabinet in the National Bangkok Museum, the panels of which are said to have been constructed using doors from the late 18th century Borommaphuttharam temple, in Ayutthaya.
