This Kandyan style in art is still popular in Sri Lanka today and are often found repeated in a wide variety of media and architecture. It can be found all over the island, especially in Buddhist-temple wall murals and other religious paintings on wood.

As well as Kandyan-period art, the exhibition has a selection of gilt-bronze Buddhist figures, sculptured in the distinctive Kandyan style. There was a revival of Buddha images depicted in pleated robes, with images made during the later 18th and 19th century having robes where the pleats were shown more rhythmically in a zig-zag pattern. John Listopad in his essay on the Kandyan period in Guardian of the Flame (2003) exhibition catalogue, also held at Phoenix Art Museum, states ‘Two major stylistic movements evolved during the Kandyan period. One was associated with the court workshops and is characterised by a more elongated face – and is generally associated with brick or stucco images from monasteries refurbished by Kirti Sri Rajasinghe and royal-commission bronzes’. The second stylistic change was usually found in smaller bronzes, which have a more rounded countenance, different hairlines, and a refined finish. From the 8th century onwards, most bronze figures were made with a flame finial, sirispata, on top of the usnisa (protuberance), which became stylised and recognisably Ceylonese by the Kandyan period.
