Sculptures Check detailsAbout this place
The Crystal Lotus Deva Sculpture (เทพยดาบัวแก้ว) stands on the grounds of Thailand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Thung Phaya Thai. The ministry describes the emblem as a seated deva holding a lotus and a vajra, and traces the seal’s use back to the Ayutthaya period. This history refers to the emblem, not the age of the sculpture. The image is from the ministry’s official ceremony gallery dated 6 September 2023.
Before visiting
The sculpture is on government premises. Public entry and viewing hours are unconfirmed, and the ministry’s office hours do not establish access to the artwork. Use the ministry’s published photo if you are planning to see the work.
