Kingdom of Chiang Saen - Kingdom of Chiang Saen

Japanese: チエンセーン王国 - チエンセーンおうこく
Kingdom of Chiang Saen - Kingdom of Chiang Saen
A Thai kingdom that flourished from around the 11th century with its capital at Chiang Saen in the northernmost part of Thailand. There are many unknowns about its history. Chiang Saen was an important city in the northernmost part of Thailand until King Mang Rai of the Lanna Thai Kingdom moved the capital to Chiang Mai in 1296. Several temples and pagodas remain at the site of the capital, and Buddhist statues in the Chiang Saen style have been excavated and discovered. The Buddha statues are characterized by a lotus bud-shaped jewel on top of the head, a thick, swollen chest like a lion's chest, a mudra to subdue demons, and a cross-legged position.

タイ北端のチエンセーンChiang Saenを都として11世紀ころから栄えたタイ族の王国。その歴史についてはあまりにも不明な点が多い。チエンセーンは1296年にラーンナータイ王国のマンライ王が都をチエンマイに移すまで,タイ北端の重要な都市であった。都跡にはいくつかの仏寺,仏塔が残り,チエンセーン様式と称される仏像が出土,発見されている。仏像の特徴は,頭上に蓮華のつぼみ状の宝珠をのせ,胸がライオンの胸のようにふくらんで厚く,降魔印(ごうまいん)をとり,結跏趺坐する。
