In Buddhist tradition, Nagas are guardians of the Dharma, protectors of hidden treasures and relics, and powerful symbols of water, fertility, renewal and transformation. The serpent tail in this sculpture therefore adds a further layer of meaning: it evokes the cyclical nature of life, rebirth and the possibility of spiritual renewal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eThe Naga also represents protective strength.

Fine casting is visible throughout, particularly in the deity’s expressive face, ornate crown, jewellery, scaled Naga body and carefully modelled alms bag.
