ArchitectureChedi Wat Kaew

Chedi Wat Kaew is a prasat-type chedi. In all possibility, the missing superstructure should be a multiple-tiered roof topped with a round stupa reminiscent a Central Javanese candi and the Phra Borommathat Chaiya but Chedi Wat Kaew is larger. The chedi was built with bricks and mortar.Now ruined, the remaining elements are the large square base and the greek-cross plan body. The chedi faces to the east. It stands on the square base with projections and middle deep porches on all four sides. The eastern porch is the entry way to the cella whereas the other three porches once housed statues. This type of structure can be compared with numerous candi of the Central Java. Furthermore, the exterior of the chedi was decorated with pilasters.
