Books on mural painting in Thailand have tended to focus on works commissioned by royalty or other elites from the centers of power. This volume is the first to examine a vibrant sub-school of painting from the rural heartland of the Northeastern Region; also known as Isan. It is a multifaceted and empathetic study of these lovely and lively paintings; and will appeal to anyone interested in the Mekong Region as well as to scholars of art history; Buddhism; and anthropology in Southeast Asia.
