The artists would put rice paper on these walls and produce a rubbing of various scenes from Ramakien before it was outlawed by the Thai government.

The rubbing for sale are original temple rubbings and are no longer allowed in Thailand. In the late 1960’s/ early 1970’s the Thai government outlawed and banned this practice of producing rice paper charcoal rubbings from the temple walls in order to preserve the detail and original beauty of the temple carvings.
