Chofa "Tassel of Air"

Chofa is one of the Thai architectural decorative roof ornaments, a hornlike projection placed at the ridge-pole. Its shape is thought to derive from the Garuda, a mythical guardian figure with bird-like features.

Today, they can be seen on temple roofs or domestic interiors, as decoration.
