The Coronation of the Sovereigns of Siam
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures the grandeur and sacredness of this ancient ritual. In this ornate ceremony, King Prajadlipok kneels on his octagonal throne as he receives anointing from Brahmin priests. The same ceremony is then performed on the kneeling Queen, symbolizing their shared power and divine connection. The anointing itself is a significant moment, as water from the five main rivers of the Kingdom and other consecrated springs are used to bless and sanctify the royal couple. This water has been carefully collected from various temples across the land by special messengers, emphasizing its importance in bestowing blessings upon the new rulers. Every detail in this image speaks to tradition and regality - from the elaborate robes worn by both king and queen to their crowns adorned with precious jewels. The presence of ceremonial guards adds an extra layer of formality and protection. Beltrame Achille's illustration beautifully captures not only the physical aspects but also conveys a sense of reverence for these religious rites. It transports us back to a time when such ceremonies held immense significance in Thai culture. This print serves as a reminder of Thailand's rich history, where religion intertwines with royalty, creating a unique tapestry that continues to be celebrated today.
