About the Item

Crafted in Thailand with rich cultural significance, these temple roof finials known as naga hold profound spiritual symbolism. Traditionally used to guard against malevolent forces and natural calamities, these revered sculptures are steeped in Buddhist tradition. This striking naga is an exquisite testament to Thai craftsmanship and spiritual reverence. Carved from teak wood, its soaring, sinuous form embodies an impressive and sculptural presence. Embracing a mystical aura, this particular naga features the evolving outline of the sinuous Thai Chofa, showcasing a streamlined and simplified shape derived from the naga itself. The Chofa represents a transition in form, encapsulating a profound spiritual evolution. The naga's profound symbolism, coupled with its commanding presence and intricate detailing, make it an exceptional addition to any space seeking to embody cultural richness, and spiritual depth.
