The stupa composes of triple bases in octagonal plan. Each of them is decorated with panels and punctuated with staircases leading to the circumambulatory path. The bell-shaped element is ornamented with bands in the centre and the triangular patterns at the top, typical to Burmese art. This stupa is categorized to “Pyu-influenced Stupa” because the bell-shaped element is quite elongate. The square throne on the top of the bell-shaped element is omitted, typical to Burmese stupa. The spire comprises the series of rings (Chatravali) and the lotus-bud-liked pinnacle, which is the sharing character in both Pyu-influenced stupa and the pure-Burmese stupa. Pyu-influenced stupa is the group of stupa which co-existed with the Pure-Burmese Stupa during the reign of King Anawratha.
