Sukhothai - Wat Chetuphon

In the Wat Chetuphon there is a particularly beautiful example of sculpture in classical Sukhothai style, a stepping Buddha in stucco, the only one of four to be have been well preserved. The other three represent Buddha in sitting, standing and reclining positions. They occupy the external walls of the mondhop, a massive brick construction, which stood at the center point of the temple grounds; only one wall of this remains. The chedi in the form of a mondhop contains the Buddha statue Phra Si Arijya Metrai ("Buddha of the future"). Part of the window frame from the wiharn has been preserved and appears to have been carved. An unusual feature at the Wat Chetuphon are the walls of slate which are sculptured like wood.
