A caryatid is a sculpted female figure serving as an architectural support taking the place of a column or a pillar supporting an entablature on her head. The Greek term karyatides literally means "maidens of Karyai", an ancient town of Peloponnese. Karyai had a famous temple dedicated to the goddess Artemis in her aspect of Artemis Karyatis: "As Karyatis she rejoiced in the dances of the nut-tree village of Karyai, those Karyatides, who in their ecstatic round-dance carried on their heads baskets of live reeds, as if they were dancing plants".
Some of the earliest known examples were found in the treasuries of Delphi, dating to about the 6th century BC, but their use as supports in the form of women can be traced back even earlier, to ritual basins, ivory mirror handles from Phoenicia, and draped figures from archaic Greece.
The best-known and most-copied examples are those of the six figures of the Caryatid Porch of the Erechtheion on the Acropolis at Athens. One of those original six figures, removed by Lord Elgin in the early 19th century, is now in the British Museum in London. The Acropolis Museum holds the other five figures
Although of the same height and build, and similarly attired and coiffed, the six Caryatids are not the same: their faces, stance, draping, and hair are carved separately; the three on the left stand on their right foot, while the three on the right stand on their left foot. Their bulky, intricately arranged hairstyles serve the crucial purpose of providing static support to their necks, which would otherwise be the thinnest and structurally weakest part.
The Romans also copied the Erechtheion caryatids, installing copies in the Forum of Augustus and the Pantheon in Rome, and at Hadrian's Villa at Tivoli. Another Roman example, found on the Via Appia, is the Townley Caryatid.
Renaissance and after
In Early Modern times, the practice of integrating caryatids into building facades was revived, and in interiors they began to be employed in fireplaces, which had not been a feature of buildings in Antiquity and offered no precedents. Early interior examples are the figures of Hercules and Iole carved on the jambs of a monumental fireplace in the Sala della Jole of the Doge's Palace, Venice, about 1450. In the following century Jacopo Sansovino, both sculptor and architect, carved a pair of female figures supporting the shelf of a marble chimneypiece at Villa Garzoni, near Padua. No architect mentioned the device until 1615, when Palladio's pupil Vincenzo Scamozzi included a chapter devoted to chimneypieces in his Idea della archittura universale. Those in the apartments of princes and important personages, he considered, might be grand enough for chimneypieces with caryatid supporters, such as one he illustrated and a similar one he installed in the Sala dell'Anticollegio, also in the Doge's Palace.
In the 16th century, from the examples engraved for Sebastiano Serlio's treatise on architecture, caryatids became a fixture in the decorative vocabulary of Northern Mannerism expressed by the Fontainebleau School and the engravers of designs in Antwerp. In the early 17th century, interior examples appear in Jacobean interiors in England; in Scotland the overmantel in the great hall of Muchalls Castle remains an early example. Caryatids remained part of the German Baroque vocabulary (illustration, right) and were refashioned in more restrained and "Grecian" forms by neoclassical architects and designers, such as the four terracotta caryatids on the porch of St Pancras New Church, London (1822).
Many caryatids lined up on the facade of the 1893 Palace of the Arts housing the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. In the arts of design, the draped figure supporting an acanthus-grown basket capital taking the form of a candlestick or a table-support is a familiar cliché of neoclassical decorative arts. The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota has caryatids as a motif on its eastern facade.
In 1905 American sculptor Augustus Saint Gaudens created a caryatid porch for the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York in which four of the eight figures (the other four figures holding only wreaths) represented a different art form, Architecture, Painting, Sculpture, and Music .
Auguste Rodin's 1881 sculpture Fallen Caryatid Carrying her Stone (part of his monumental The Gates of Hell work) shows a fallen caryatid. Robert Heinlein described this piece in Stranger in a Strange Land: "Now here we have another emotional symbol... for almost three thousand years or longer, architects have designed buildings with columns shaped as female figures... After all those centuries it took Rodin to see that this was work too heavy for a girl... Here is this poor little caryatid who has tried — and failed, fallen under the load.... She didn't give up, Ben; she's still trying to lift that stone after it has crushed her..."

Dusit District is, home to The Royal Palace of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, Chitralada Palace is the Bangkok residence of King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit. King Bhumibol was the first king in the Chakri dynasty to live in the Chitralada Palace, he is known as Rama IX and having reigned since 9 June 1946, he is the world's longest serving current head of state and the longest reigning monarch in Thai history. He was born at the Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the United States on 5 December 1927. Dusit Palace was established by King Rama V, the first Thai monarch to visit Europe. Near this palace is Vimanmek Mansion reportedly the worlds largest Teakwood residence and was the former home of King Rama V. Also near the Palace is Parliament house, the previous parliament meetings were held in the hall on the upper level of Anantasamakhom Throne Hall. As the government expanded, permission was requested from the king for a new building, which was erected on the land once belonging to the Police Department. Parliament Building: Apart from being used for sessions of Parliament, it also houses the office of the house speaker, government press release room, parliament museum and a library.
Dusit Zoo, 71 Rama V Rd. across the road from Parliament house. Dusit Zoo is located at Khao Din Park in Bangkok's Dusit District next to the Parliament House and Dusit Palace, it is the oldest zoo of Thailand, built by King Chulalongkorn ( Rama V ) as his private garden adjacent to the royal palace. After the King's passing, the garden was left unattended for years. In 1938, the revolutionary government asked King Rama VIII's regency to give this park to Bangkok City Municipality to be open as a public zoo. The King himself kindly bestowed deer's and several other animals from the palace for public exhibition. The City of Bangkok operated the zoo until 1954. Since then it has been transferred to the state Zoological Park Organization, which also operates Khao Kheow Open Zoo, Chiang Mai Zoo, Songkhla Zoo, and Nakhon Ratchasima Zoo. Dusit Zoo or Khao Din is regarded as the most popular zoo in Thailand.

King Rama V was the first Thai monarch to visit Europe. He was very impressed with what he had seen there, and came up with some drastic ideas to take Bangkok into the 20th century. Rattanakosin was a cramped district with many waterways, as opposed to Europe where broad avenues dominated cities like Paris and London. King Rama V decided that most of the original canals in Rattanakosin had to disappear in favour of roads for horse carriages. However this was only the beginning; King Rama V started designing a completely new district from scratch that had to become the new royal city, a district with grandeur, wide avenues and a leafy, European feel. This change is creating problems on Rattanakosin Island as many people live in old huts and homes built many years ago and are in danger of being moved under all this change.
The best example of this modernization process is the Dusit Palace. It is a massive complex of royal residences and palaces in many different styles, some of them with a European feel. The Italian Renaissance-style Anantasamakhom Throne Hall dominates the stage, and right in front of it in the middle of a wide avenue stands the King Rama V Equestrian Statue, a large statue of the King himself that is beautifully adorned with garlands on Chulalongkorn Day (October 23). King Rama V is still popular among the Thai people and his modernization strategy is credited with having saved Siam from Western colonization.
A good day to catch the stately feel of the district is at December 2, when Dusit hosts the annual Trooping the Colour ceremony. Hundreds of officers of the Royal Guard demonstrate their allegiance to the King by parading around Suan Amporn, which is right next to King Rama V's statue.
The district is sub divided into 5 sub districts ( Khwaeng ).
1. Dusit 2. Wachiraphayaban 3. Suan Chit Lada 4. Si Yaek Maha Nak 5. Thanon Nakhon Chai Si

The Johnson family, after consultation with the doctor, has decided to remove such life support on Thursday, 19 January.
Ken's girlfriend, Dale, daughter Sue, and his sons, are with Ken at this time.
Fellow 174th brothers, Sam Davis and Wally Nunn, and their wives Helen and Irene, had previously scheduled a three day get-together with Ken beginning Thursday 19 January. They still plan to be there with Ken tomorrow.
As many of you know Ken was in the 174th from November 1967 to July 1968. Ken was awarded the Silver Star for his bravery at the Battle of Dong Ha (Dai Do) 1 - 15 May 1968. Congressman Trey Goudy (SC) presented Ken with
the Silver Star award on 19 November 2012 at the American Legion #3 Post, Greenville, SC. The following 174th brothers attended the award ceremony: Ron Conner, Mel Lutgring, Dennis Fisher, Hal Koster, Henry Wifholm, Wally & Irene Nunn, Sam & Helen Davis, Don Richardson, Billy Wood and BG Denny Leach.
Ken has also been receiving chemo for bladder and kidney cancer.
Ken’s family has requested, through Sam Davis, that this information be shared with his 174th brothers on the 174th List Server.
Please keep Ken and family in your thoughts and prayers…
