Petite Brass Buddha with Painted Eyes and Snake Halo
Item Number: 200
Time Left: CLOSED
Description
Buddha with simple painted eyes sitting in meditation posture on a snake throne shaded by a multi-headed snake halo. 5" tall.
A favorite motif of Angkorean sculptors from approximately the 12th century A.D. onward was that of the Buddha sitting in the position of meditation, his weight supported by the coils of a multi-headed naga that also uses its flared hood to shield him from above. This motif recalls the story of the Buddha and the serpent king Mucalinda as the Buddha sat beneath a tree engrossed in meditation, Mucalinda came up from the roots of the tree to shield the Buddha from a tempest that was just beginning to arise.
