Bentuk lidah terjulur di tengah bandaraya Alor Setar (The hanging-tounge-like shape in the middle of Alor Setar city)

Bersambung dari Istana Kuning, Alor Setar.
Continued from Istana Kuning, Alor Setar.

Malamnya saya telah singgah di Masjid Zahir dan meletakkan kereta di seberang jalan besar. Semasa hendak keluar terlihat satu benda menarik di sebuah bangunan berhadapan.

On the night I stopped by at Masjid (mosque of) Zahir and parked the car across the main road. On my out I saw something interesting on a building in front.

Ia adalah bentuk ukiran tradisional pada hujung bumbung yang saya suka panggil lidah terjulur...

It is the traditional carving and shape at the corners of the roof which I like to call the hanging-tounges....

Rupa-rupanya bangunan ini adalah sebahagian dari muzium diraja Kedah. Nampaknya saya perlu menziarahinya jika datang ke Alor Setar lagi.

As it turns out the building is part of the Kedah royal museum. Looks like I have to pay a visit if I do come to Alor Setar again.
