During one of the weeks following his enlightenment, the Buddha Shakyamuni was sheltered from the rain by a serpent known as a "naga." In Cambodia, the naga, in the form of a multi-headed hooded cobra, was considered to be the spirit of the irrigating rivers and canals as well as a rainbow-bridge to heaven. This sculpture is carved from arkosic wacke, a type of sandstone rich in the mineral feldspar, which gives it a crystalline quality.
The seller guarantees that he acquired this piece according to all national and international laws related to the ownership of cultural property. Provenance statement seen by Catawiki.
