All have provenance.

"When the cloth from the old city of Phatthalung reappeared in the Queen's clothes."

This beauty is not only the fineness of his clothes.

But on the Buddha, there is also the story of the old Phatthalung city of Jaiburi, which traces its history back to Ayutthaya.

Her Majesty the Queen.

Flatbed Silk Dress With Embroidered Lace

With the ancient printed cloth monk of Jaiburi.

"Bong Bong pattern."

Or a pattern that creators describe as meaning

"Waterfowl-Sea Lotus Pattern"

It takes the image of the nature of the Phatthalung Valley, the birds, the water and the lotus, and transmits it through the rhythm of patterns on the fabric, to become a work of hands with a local identity.

The city of Chaiburi is not a name that was built for tourism in modern times.

Historical and archaeological evidence indicates that the Chaiburi Mountains were once home to Phatthalung during Ayutthaya, and traces of city walls, moats, ancient sites and antiquities reflect the area's former importance.

What is even more interesting is the fabric-making wisdom of Shivanath House, Phatthalung Province.

Motifs from the artistic heritage of Phatthalung, paints, sculptures and ancient motifs, were studied before creating molds and reviving fabrics using local natural materials and colors to create them.

It can be said that this piece is not just beautiful because of its "pattern."

But there's value in that.

One canvas can take the story of the old city.

Folk mechanic wisdom.

The nature of the lake.

And the memories of the people of the South.

Back alive.

And when Her Majesty the Queen made the following statement on the occasion of her mythology in Narathiwat Province on September 30, 2023.

Local cloth therefore appears not only in museums or in memory.

But it has appeared gracefully in contemporary space.

Let the whole country look back at "wisdom from the homeland" with another eye.

This is the key charm of his clothes that time.

Because beauty does not stop at the fineness of his clothes.

But also make a small canvas from Phatthalung City.

Became a storyteller of Thai history, culture and craftsmanship.

Gracefully.

Historical Note

There are some articles linking this kind of fabric to Srivijaya and Langkasuka, but academically it should not be concluded that the pattern or process seen today is directly inherited from the royal court in such an era. Because clear evidence about the city of Jaiburi is during the Ayutthaya period, the phrasing "inspired by the heritage of Southern and the Malayan world" is more historically concise.
