This mural detail from the Emerald Buddha Temple shows large fish and mermaids moving through cresting ocean waves to carry stones away from Rama’s bridge.

At right a merman and mermaid couple carry large stones held high over their shoulders and behind their heads. At left a demon creature who seems to be half woman and half sea snake carries another large stone. Large fish, including a giant blue one diving into a wave with a stone in its mouth, swim around the mermaids.
