History of production-
ArtwSim at Wat kili is the most complete example of Chiang Kwang sim in Luang Phra Bang. The sims of Chiang Kwang school of art at Khoun city were all destroyed during the war. This makes it only possible to study the Chiang Kwang school of art in Luang Phra Bang. The sim of Chiang Kwang school of art is very similar to that of Luang Phra Bang in terms of the pediment that has a curvy frame falling down almost to the ground and the “Ma Tang Mai’, a special feature of Lanna art. However, the most diiferent feature is that the pediment of Luang Phra Bang schoolof art has brid-winged partitions, the pediment of Chiang Kwang school of art does not have it at all.
