Chiang Saen National Museum
|
|
The National Museum, just before the entry to Wat Chedi Luang has several fine pieces in the Chiang Saen style, including Buddhas, amulets, silver and stucco work, stelae and a demon mask. The recently discovered stone reliefs brought here for safekeeping from Wat Sang Kha Kaew Don Tun are particularly worth seeing. Judging from the hair styles and apparel of the figures they probably date from about 300 years ago rather than from when the monastery was founded.
