About the Item

This carved wooden sculpture represents a ceremonial temple guardian, designed to protect sacred spaces. The guardian is depicted lying down with arms crossed under the chin, exuding a peaceful and vigilant presence. It features a rich black and red patina, which adds depth to the figure’s visual impact. This type of sculpture would have been placed within temple interiors or at key entrances to ward off negative influences and protect the spiritual sanctity of the site. The sculpture's form showcases traditional Thai artistry, with an emphasis on graceful curves and balanced composition. Its facial features and posture convey a sense of calm authority, reflecting the symbolic role of guardians in Buddhist temple iconography. 26" Long
