I had this motif in my mind for some time and it's interesting how when you research on it, this basic drawing was in many different cultures like in the egiptian, inca and in the stone age, even in the art deco period.
In this red-grey combination it reminds me more on tribal art but in black and white it can turn to glamorous, this option is available if you want!
It closes with a braided belt that ends in two tassels.
The colours in the model pics may look a bit different, detail pic shows the right colours.

From the May 2016 trip to Thailand and Cambodia:
On the first full day of touring Bangkok, we went to Wat Phra Kaew in the morning, then had a wonderful lunch (tom ka gai, cashew nut chicken) before walking directly south to Wat Pho (which abuts the Royal Palace).
Personally, I preferred Wat Pho to Wat Phra Kaew…mainly due to there being fewer tourists. (The admission to Wat Pho is also one fifth of that to see Wat Phra Kaew, at only 100 baht. Still…$15 for one and $3 for the other isn’t a huge deal.)
Wat Pho also has slightly more variety to me. Lonely Planet says it has the “city’s largest reclining Buddha.” (Having seen it, I’d guess it’s among the largest in the country, and I’m curious to know where a larger one may be…) It also has the largest collection of Buddha images in Thailand and the country’s earliest center for public education (also both per LP).
The nice thing for me is that Wat Pho is the national headquarters for the teaching and preservation of traditional Thai medicine and massage. I gladly let them practice on me for 420 baht (barely $10).
Wat Pho also gives a free bottle of ice water with admission, which was great considering we were here in the afternoon on a close-to-100-degree day. After having visited both places, I considered the touristy part of Thailand done, and was glad to head back to the guesthouse for a quick nap in a wonderfully air-conditioned room before going out to Thanon Khao San for the evening.

Mini ziggurats, rather art deco - a particular style of ornamentation that seems to be typial of Khajuraho
I've sees some amazing sunrises, but this one is certainly at a high position. The higher clouds seemed to form a zigzag pattern starting at the rising sun.
