Talipot, a Buddhist monk's fan, commonly made of palm-leaf or tapestry, was produced to commemorate significant events. This Coronation Talipot made of tapestry, features the royal emblem of King Prajadhipok (three Rama's arrows under the Great Crown of Victory) and the legend reads: "King Paramindra Maha Prajadhipok Phra Pokklao, Coronation B.E. 2468" (1926). The graphic design of the fan was done by Prince Naris, whose personal emblem (Thai initial "์N" in the heart) printed on the background of the fan acting as his signature.
This Talipot fan is part of King Prajadhipok Museum Collection.
