In addition, the various patterns carved on the stupa are beautifully and elaborately expressed, so they have outstanding artistic value. Although the exact date of construction and the main character of the stupa are unknown as no record of the stupa was erected, it was designated as a national treasure on December 20, 1962 in recognition of its good preservation and its academic and artistic value.
