  This

  Wat 
  Phra 
  Keo 
  was 
  unearthed 
  at 
  Kiang 
  Hai 
  nearly 
  five 
  centuries 
  ago, 
  

   and 
  was 
  borne 
  to 
  Bangkok, 
  where 
  it 
  was 
  once 
  stolen 
  by 
  invading 
  Cambodians, 
  but 
  was 
  

   recovered 
  by 
  a 
  victorious 
  Siamese 
  army 
  (see
