Collection Made By Kansas Geologist Siamese Art On Display
Everything from a reclining Buddha to men's trousers with a 142-inch waist line is included in the collection of Siamese art now on display in the exhibition room on the third floor of West Frank Strong hall.
The exhibit, which features woven material from the peasant country of Siam, or Thailand, was collected in 1921-23 by Wallace Lee, representative of the Kansas Geological Survey, at that time searching for oil under the employ of the Siamese government. Being a geologist, Lee had to make many trips into parts of the interior rarely visited by white men. It was on these trips that he gathered most of his material for the collection.
Lee found Buddha statues in the ruins of temples which had been destroyed in old Burma-Thailand wars. Broken statues are worthless

to the Buddhists and consequently are left lying on the ground after battles destroy the temples. Statues of Buddha reclining, sitting erect, and with hand upraised depict various episodes in his legendary life.
Silk pieces are woven from the
silk of the Siamese Bombyx worm, a variety of silkworm smaller than the Japanese worm. Fine silk garments are not made entirely for ceremonial and court wear—peasants wear them every day. Silk is utilized in Thailand because it is one of the cheapest and most durable materials obtainable.
Gold and silver are woven into the garments of the upper class The exhibit contains one heavy gold-braided skirt and another with silver weaving. Both were formerly owned by Princess Nan of Northern Siam.
Two 14-inch ceremonial daggers, a set of gold and silver hand-made bowls, two Siamese books and three wooden cow-bells are also included in the collection.
