TraditionalParasols

01 FEBRUARY 2017 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Women make large traditional parasols at a shop that makes and sells Buddhist paraphernalia in Bangkok. The umbrellas are used as parasols to keep the sun off important Buddha statues and at formal events. In Thai culture, the parasols were used to provide shade for members of the royal family or representatives of the royal family. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
