History of production-
ArtStua at Wat Peng is a stupa in an octagonal plan. The important feature is the angled lotus bell-shaped element, which is the unique feature of Lan Chang. The base is Bua Khao Prom in the form of lion legs. This shows the relationship with the lion base in the middle Ayuthaya and is very similar to the same part at Wat ong Tue, Tha Bor Subdistrict, Nong Khai.
