Lao People's Democratic Republic
That Mak Mo Pagoda
Sourya (1999)

That Mak Mo means "pagoda housing bones of the Buddha".
When it was first built,the surface was coated with animal glue and plaster.
Over many years of erosion it has changed to its present appearance.
The tapered shape at the top represents the flame of the Buddha world.
