History of production	Although there is no evidence related to this Chedi, the architectural style and paintings allow us to know that this Chedi was built in the late Pegan period around 18 century B.E. Nearly all of the archaeological sites in Minbanku village were built in this period as well.
Art	Paintings show hot shading of Pala such as red, yellow, black and white. Buddha images are also related to paintings on ancient palm leaf manuscripts of Pala art, which was brought to Pegan and became the model for Pegan artists. However, filling the pattern into blank space was a popular feature of the late Pegan art.
