Large Sculptural Thai Naga
About the Item
Used in Thailand as temple roof finials or in pairs at entrances to guard against evil spirits and natural disasters, the powerful, mystical naga are among the most revered Buddhist symbols. With its soaring curving form and large size, this particular naga, is especially sculptural. It shows the emerging outline of the sinuous Thai cho-fa, a simplified, streamlined shape that evolved from the naga. To make the naga, a large, heavy piece of teak wood was carved in its curving shape, then fitted with shimmering gold and blue tiles.
