Wat Xieng Thong Seated Buddha Pavilion

The Chapel of the Standing Buddha, or Pointed Arch Chapel, is located south of the façade of the sim. Initially one might pay it little attention, since it is sited among so many more colorful and lavish structures. Closer examination reveals wonderful details in the work of the mosaic artist, especially in the pediments on either end and in the dok so fa-like pagoda form at the center of the ridgepole. Although it has a single roof, additional lines of decoration and the four cho fa at the top suggest the image of a double roof.
