Stamps printed in celebration of Chiang Mai 700th Anniversary: Angel Sculptures around Chet Yot Temple Stupa. The temple was constructed following the order conferred by King Tilokaraja, the ninth King of the Mengrai Dynasty (1441-1487 A.D.), as part of the commemoration of the 200th Anniversary of Buddhism. The outer wall of the Chet Yot Stupa was decoratively surrounded by standing and sitting angel sculptures in the wai gesture, with the hand brought together at chest level in the Thai greeting style. |
