A
chintamani or
flaming pearl,
here depicted in the form
of a circle wreathed in flames rather than a ball
(fig.), is also found on
traditional Chinese-style temple and palace buildings, usually on the roof,
but sometimes on the gable. Here, it stands in the middle of the roof
of
Khue Van Cac (fig.),
a Chinese-style two-storey pavilion in the Temple of Literature in Hanoi
(fig.). |
