Kranok pattern
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kranok pattern (Thai: ลายกระหนก, RTGS: Lai Kranok) is a Thai motif pattern. It appears in many Thai artworks such as Tripiṭaka cabinets, the doors of Thai temples, and coffins. According to the Royal Institute Dictionary in 1982, Kranok refers to a pattern of lines. However, when it is written as Kanok, it means gold. The pattern basically repeats right triangles. The triangles may be the same size or different sizes. Often one point of each triangle goes in the same direction. In the Sanskrit language Kra-nok means thorns.
