This gilded panel above the entrance of the Carriage House at Wat Xieng Thong shows two brothers, Phra Lak and Phra Ram, in battle with humanoid monkeys called vanone. It is part of the Phra Lak Phra Lam story that was adopted by the Hindu epic Ramayana. Scenes from this story are a common element in the dance, songs, literature and art of Laos.
