The Phra Mondop is a repository of sacred texts, sometimes referred to as a library. The Monuments of the royal insignia or Phra Borom Ratcha Sanyalak are four monuments depicting the nine insignia of the kings of the Chakri dynasty. They surround the Phra Mondop at each corner. Each of the golden butsabok thrones are built on raised marble bases, each side with inscriptions describing each king`s contribution to the building or repair of the temple itself. On each of the corners are two miniature golden multi-tiered umbrellas: the four on the upper level have seven tiers and those on the bottom level have five tiers. Surrounding the monuments are miniature bronze elephants
