The Museum and library of Wat Bowon Niwet Vihara Rajavaravihara Part II


The exhibition in the second room shows His Royal Holiness the Supreme Patriarch Krom Phraya Pavares Variyalankarana's monastic life and his works. He was the second abbot of Wat Bowon. The composition of room is similar to King Rama IV's room including a bronze sculpture of  His Royal Holiness inside.

Krom Phraya Pavares Variyalankarana was esteemed as the sage of the era in linguistics and poetry, architecture, scientist and astronomy and also the inheritor and detective of Siam history, archaeology and architectural science. His hand writing is very beautiful and rarely found nowadays. Ministry of Education of Thailand should have copied his writing as a writing copybook to teach Thai students. It is neat, beautiful and an art.

Bhaksa Kanana Text - a text of astrology and calculation method of lunar calendar
Not just all those poetries and text books that Krom Phraya Pavares Variyalankarana was indited, he also recorded the volume of rainfall in each season and date. I am not sure how these records would be used in his era but whatever materials that was used to write and be written on remain his hand writing very clear and sharp to read.

The third room displaying the story of His Royal Holiness the Supreme Patriarch Krom Phraya Vajirananvarorasa, the third abbot, composes of a bronze sculpture of His Holiness and his belongings while he lived in monkhood.

In the showcase on the side of the room, I saw a nice picture frame box made of leather decorating with golden vine of flowers. This is similar to a 3D design of an expensive, classic, leather book covers.
