Bronze Phra Malai visiting Hell. An exceptionally fine gilded and lacquered bronze figure of the venerable Monk Phra Malai visiting Hell, holding his Fan, with a serene expression and standing on a rectangular pedestal with a vat of skulls stewing at his feet. With a skeleton prostrated on the base. Four Demonic Creatures clamber around him, while four Denizens of the underworld beseech him for help.

Whilst visiting Hell Phra Malai is said to bestow mercy on those suffering there. They emplore him to warn their relatives on Earth
and how to escape it through meditation and following Buddhist precepts.
