Besides baskets with riyan prooythaa (fig.), a pad yot or talapat monastic fan (fig.), the cut hair locks of the candidate monk or naga, and the traijiewon or monk's robes (fig.),, this table also holds a large pile of mon buat, the so-called ‘ordination pillows’.

Also known as mon khit, these firm, rectangular head pillows (fig.) are traditionally crafted from pah khit, the intricately patterned textile of Isaan. They are presented as a symbolic token of support to a candidate monk on the occasion of his ordination (buat).
