<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AuDragon, post: 390272, member: 6974&quot;]Hi Bryan,</p><p>Thanks for the extra images which really helped. Here is some further information about your Thai temple rubbing.</p><p>Your rubbing actually comes from Wat Pho in Bangkok. (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wat_Pho" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wat_Pho" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wat_Pho</a>)</p><p>I have included a copy of your rubbing and the original marble carving from which your rubbing comes. If you look carefully, you can see many details are exactly the same. As the original marble carving is unique to the artist and temple, no two carvings are the same.</p><p>Yours has been done with hardened sticks of coloured oil which give that slightly diffuse look around the edges as the oil bleeds into the handmade rice paper over time.</p><p>Original rubbings were mainly done in the 1960&#039;s and readily available until the 1970&#039;s. I suspect yours is from this time and was probably high end (as Debora said).</p><p>If interested, there is some further information here: <a href="http://thaitemplerubbings.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://thaitemplerubbings.com/" rel="nofollow">http://thaitemplerubbings.com/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]135362[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]135363[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
