A prime royal urn to encase the ashes of King Bhumibol Adulyadej will be redesigned to show the highest respect to the late King, according to Deputy Prime Minister Tanasak Patimapragorn.
Gen Tanasak, who chairs the meetings of the committee supervising the construction of the royal crematorium and chariot for the late King, said on Friday the meeting agreed on the redesign of the principal urn.
The new design will be made of gold and will be presented to His Majesty the King for consideration. The designer is Somchai Supaluckampaiporn, the senior artisan of the Office of Traditional Arts at the Fine Arts Department.
The octagonal urn will be encrusted with gemstones. The base of the urn will bear a striking image of a Garuda wrestling with the Naga, which symbolises the highest respect for the late King.
