Description: |
|
The Ong Ang kiln, an archaeological remain was discovered in
front of Wat Sing temple. It is considered as evidence of the
first stage of the Mon settlement in this area in the Ayutthaya
period. The Sam Khok water jar is also the biggest container
produced from this kiln. However, later, the Mon people in Sam
Khok town ended production and moved the production site to Ko
Kret, Nonthaburi, where Sam Khok water jars have been
manufactured in a large number and have been sold along the
river to every region before they were overcome by the dragon
water jars from Ratchaburi.
The Sam Khok water jar is
reddish orange similar to the colour of bricks or Man Pu (crab’s
fat). It is quite thick with a narrow mouth. The jar’s neck is
attached to its shoulder. Its patterns are parallel lines on its
shoulder. It is swelling in the middle and short. Its mouth and
bottom are similar in size. At present, ancient Sam Khok water
jars can be viewed at Wat Sing and Wat Sam Khok, while the
gigantic ones can be witnessed at the Bangkok National Museum. |
