Carvings of monks, nuns and disciples may adorn the walls of religious sites and palaces or may be free-standing, and are accepted as a natural part of the life of the faithful.
Wooden images of the two diciples of the Buddha, Sariputta and Moggallana are found in the nunneries and monastries in Burma.
Another monk is Shin Siwali, a standing monk with bowl and fan who is the patron saint of travellers.
