Guardians of the Rice Field
The san jaothi of the rice field exudes a wild humility that is at once mysterious and innocent.The guardians of the rice field are never easy to find and the offerings inside are as modest as a bag of unhusked rice from the first threshing (symbolizing the soul seed energy of the rice) or a simple orange. We hunted down this one on a rice field in Buriram nestled next to a tree far from the main path. It is made of local wood with a corrugated sheet metal roof.
