The image of the Buddha wearing a distinctive crown is often described with the popular Thai term Phra Chao Song Khruang (A Lord Wearing Ornaments). The standard depiction of the Buddha throughout the Buddhist world shows him without jewels or other adornment, with distended earlobes signifying the earthly wealth he renounced when he left the palace. In Southeast Asia, however, crowned images of the Buddha were popular in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, and then again in the sixteenth century when adorned Buddhas proliferated. The most popular explanation for this contradiction on his common demeanor derives from the Jambupatisutta, which tells the story of the arrogant and boastful king Jambupati. The Buddha appeared before Jambupati, bedecked and bejeweled, thus humbling him. An alternate explanation is that the crowned Buddha is Maitreya, the Buddha of the future, who in this lifetime is a bodhisattva, a situation that may require that he be shown expressing both identities. Maitreya worship was widespread from the sixth century, as Buddhists commonly believe that those born during Maitreya's lifetime automatically achieve enlightenment.

Ayutthaya at this time had one of the most prosperous capitals in the world, with foreign powers clamoring to trade with the 'Kingdom of Siam'. The tide had turned in the Burmese-Siamese wars, when in 1594 Ayutthaya launched its first offensive invasion of Burma rather than the other way around. The early and mid-17th century also saw one of the longest intermissions between major military campaigns during the three-century war. By 1700, it is estimated that the capital had the world's largest population, at around one million. During this time, Ayutthaya furthered its vigorous cultural program, culminating in the highest concentration of Buddhist art perhaps anywhere in the world.
