| Thai Heritage Conservation - Kreuang Khwaen (1991) Hanging Decorations | |
Thai. ‘Crocodile Odour’. Name of a kind of kreuang khwaen, i.e. net or frame-like, stringed flower arrangements, that are used to suspend at windows, doorways, gables, etc. It is knitted into three diamond-shaped squares, using mainly jasmine buds . At the corners are festoons of colourful flowers, such as dok rak and dok kulaab or yellow jampah flowers . Its name derives from the fact that its shape is somewhat reminiscent to that of a crocodile seen from above. This type of flower decoration is depicted on a Thai postage stamp issued in 1991 .
