Lanna Temple Wood and Glass Spirit House Handcrafted in Thailand (16 in.)

Jaifah Aksornsri

(37)

In designing this traditional spirit house, Thai artisan Jaifah Aksornsri draws inspiration from the architectural styles of temples from the ancient Lanna kingdom. It is customary for people in Thailand to build a san phra poom, or "guardian spirit house" when they finish building their own house. A Buddhist ceremony takes place, inviting a protective spirit to live inside the small house. These spirit houses are believed to bring luck, happiness, success, and security to those within the home. Handcrafted from mango wood, a small set of red stairs leads to a spirit house that is given a bronze-tone finish with colorful mirrored glass accents.
