What is Chiang Sean or Lanna Buddha style?
If you go around Chiang mai, Chiang Rai, Nan or Lamphun you would see a lot of Thai temples and Buddha Statues. Have you ever wondered what distinguishes Lanna style from other Thai styles?
- Hair style which is a frame-like halo with a large round hair form. This hairstyle is almost similar to another Thai style except the round hair form has no detail and is not in a spiral form.
- Face Style : Soft round smiling expression face with knotted chin. Compared to another period, it is likely rounder and has no obvious strong hairline. However the soft smile influenced by Sukhothai plays a big role in this period.
- Body Style is mostly influenced by Sukhothai and Ayuthaya for this part has a very similar style such as the slim waist with convex chest.
- Cloth style : the hem of the robe over the left shoulder is short and the cloth’s seam is similar to a centipede’s mouth. The makers mostly don’t do the centipede’s mount which makes this one different from the others.
