AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

beautifully hand-carved and richly decorated kneeling Thai temple guardian figure (Thep Phanom), executed in traditional style. The figure is depicted in a respectful prayer position (wai), symbolising reverence, peace and devotion.
Crafted from wood and finished with an elegant cream-white lacquer, the sculpture is lavishly adorned with gold decoration and colourful mirrored glass inlays in green, blue and red. The intricate floral and geometric carvings, together with the finely detailed headdress and traditional costume, demonstrate the high level of craftsmanship associated with Thai decorative art.
This impressive sculpture makes an eye-catching statement in both classic and contemporary interiors and is equally suitable for collectors of Asian art or as an exceptional decorative object.
