Description
Wat Mahathat Seated Buddha Statue, Sukhotai historical park, Thailand The Sukhothai Art started from the reign of Poh Khun Si Inthrathit, the first king of the Ruang Dynasty. He was instrumental in establishing the Sukhothai Kingdom. The Early Sukhothai Art had received the influence from the Chiang Saen Art, especially the Khmer Art from 1010-1220 AD.Nonetheless, not long after the death of King Chaiworaman VII the Great, the Sukhothai Kingdom declared her independence. The kingdom had adopted the Sri Lanka Art as her contemporary. This was witnessed by the harmony of the Sukhothai Art, the blending among the major mixed Khmer Art of the Bayon Period and the Sri Lanka Art and the indigenous art.
