仏と象 At the Temple behind my Guest House 餅米と花は神様へのお供えです

Footsore Bodhisattva. Clearly, it's a long difficult path to enlightenment.　わはは、菩薩も腱膜瘤！

Broken finger, peaceful hand.　折れた指より平和

The Psychedeliphant! 夢遊性象〜！
At times SE Asia Buddhist art gets decidedly trippy. I assume this is an ex-elephant, of the shuffled-off-its-mortal, deceased variety. Fair enough. A commentary on transience, evanescence, 'n' all that. But what exactly is that creature on the top right? A monkey-lizard? A ratdog? And why are the crow and the elephant and the thingummy-creature all bright blue? (The bluebottle I understand).
What are these people smoking? Actually, given that it is Laos, I have a pretty good idea.
'Lao-ness'.
凄いぞう〜！なんかサイケ調の芸術ぽいですね。右上の動物はなんでしょうか？！猿トカゲ？ネズミ犬？赤塚不二夫大先生系と思います！考えたらブツ象という表現もあるかもしれないね〜
