It is composed of lion base and the foot of the lion is an arc that is continuously connected. This characteristic is similar to the one of Mid-Ayutthaya art. Next to the base appears the overturned lotus and the wood with the pattern of Look gaew ok gai.

The curve is the important aesthetics of lotus wires in Lanchang art.
