History of production	Alopye Pagoda has no history of being built by anyone. However, from the style of art and interior painting. This pagoda was built in the early Pagan period about the 16th Buddhist Century.
Art	These bodhisattvas dressed very similarly to the Pala art like a crown with three faces, S shaped breast chain and streak panung. Including the appearance of two flowers fluttering both sides symmetrically, it indicates the influence of Pala art a lot. The painting itself is a hot tone color likes Pala. All this shows that the age of painting is in the early of Pagan era. The most important aspect for this Bodhisattva is sitting back and the normal Pala Iconography. This shows that the painting is written by a Pakan craftsman.
