Description: |
|
It is another valuable historic site passed on from a long
history along with Chaiyaphum province. Bai Sema Ban Kut Ngong
is a sandstone Sema in Dvaravati period from 12th and 13th
Buddhist centuries found in the northeast. It is a sacred object
and an evidence that shows the community in Dvaravati period,
when Thevarata doctrine was disseminated. A boundary marker of a
temple is placed to designate an area for Buddhist ritual of
monks. Bai Sema Ban Khut Ngong is kept at Wat Kut Ngong School
in Kut Tum sub-district. Sema stones are not only found at the
temple but also around the village. They are therefore collected
and stored in the building. Most of them are big with a
bas-relief in the front, while some were also inscribed on their
back as well. The bas-reliefs present the Buddhist stories of
former incarnations (Jatakas) of the Buddha or idols such as the
Bodhisattva standing on a lotus, the Buddha image sitting on a
throne under the Bodhi tree, considered as the most beautiful
ones of Northeastern Thailand. Ancient Pallava scripts of
Southern India were also found inscribed on some Sema stones. |
