A busabok mala, a small elaborate pavilion throne, with two extensions, one on each side, structures known as kreun, that make the seat-level boat-shaped and support a multi-layered parasol called chattra. Here, the seat and the kreun are decorated with golden phum dokmai. It is part of the Queen's Collection, which is on permanent display in the Ananta Samahkom Hall. Therefore, the top right corner of the stamp has the side profile of Queen Sirikit in gold.
