A GROUP OF FOUR SOUTH-EAST ASIAN WOOD AND GLASS CHOFAHS

Chofah is a Thai architectural decorative ornament that adorns the apex at the end of Wat and palace rooves in most of the continental Southeast Asian countries, such as Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar. The chofah is generally believed to represent the mythical creature Garuda, half bird and half man, who is the vehicle of the Hindu god Vishnu.
