Wat Phra Pai Luang, Sukkhothai...


This picture is interesting... it shows the different layers that make up these massive monuments. The first, inner layer is brick... that gives them their basic overall shape and design. Next comes layers of some kind of cement-like substance. And the upper layer seems to be a stucco layer, used for ornamentation and statues. This complex had many structures all in a similar level of decay, which made it easy to see the building process
