Description

This is a rare lacquered wood statue of the Buddha protected by Mucalinda, the seven-headed naga. Hand-carved from dense tropical hardwood and decorated in the Lai Rot Nam style with black lacquer and genuine gold leaf gilding.

 

The Buddha sits in dhyana mudra (meditation pose), shielded by the cobra’s heads. The naga’s coiled body forms a symbolic throne. No synthetic coatings or modern paint are visible under UV light. Wear patterns and pigment analysis confirm historical age.

 

Date: ca. 1880–1920 (possibly earlier)

Origin: Thailand

Height: 79 cm

Width: 43.5 cm

Weight: 12.5 kg

Material: Carved hardwood, black lacquer, gold leaf

Condition: One naga point repaired, non-original base, otherwise very good antique condition.

 

This type of large-scale naga Buddha in wood is exceptionally rare — most are cast in bronze. A striking centerpiece for collectors of Southeast Asian art, Buddhist interiors, or spiritual décor.
