Scope note
Refers to the period associated with the temple precinct of Wat Kukut in the Lamphun region established in the 13th century. The style of the period is based on the architectural features of the temple, such as the two large stupas made from laterite and constructed in the late Dvaravati style, a large square monument with a high base and five square receding tiers surmounted by pointed spires and decorated with miniature stupa, and niches housing Buddha image in stucco and terracotta. In sculpture, artistic production from this period includes an octagonal-shaped monument crowned with small, round stupa and decorated with panels containing a standing Buddha image in stucco. Around the base of the stupa, seated Buddha statues perform the gesture of subduing Mara.
