DP70_12 - A left view of the three-tiered roof and finials of Wat Phan Tao, Chiangmai, Thailand

About this image

CreatorDorothy PelzerDescriptionThe basic framework of the roof is made of teak wood. In order to cover the large structure without making it appear top-heavy, the multi-tiered roof creates a sense of rhythm and syncopation. Horn-shaped finials like stylised swans placed at the ridge-poles are decorative features. Concrete steps lead to the wooden door beneath the lowest level of the roofDate Original26 May 1964CountryThailand
