An Antique Khmer-Style Protective Seven-Headed Naga (Serpent)
From HD Asian Art comes this striking antique Khmer-style seven-headed Naga, a magnificent symbol of divine protection and spiritual power. With its sweeping, serpentine form and intricate detailing, the Naga emanates both majesty and serenity—the timeless strength of a guardian watching over sacred spaces.
In Buddhist tradition, the Naga is not merely a mythical serpent but a being of immense wisdom and cosmic presence. Revered as a protector of the Buddha and the Dharma, it is said that a great Naga once shielded the meditating Buddha from the rain with its seven hoods, embodying shelter, devotion, and spiritual guardianship. Its many heads represent heightened awareness and the all-seeing nature of enlightenment, ever-watchful of the forces that disturb peace and balance.
Symbolizing transformation and renewal, the Naga also reflects the cycles of life—birth, death, and rebirth—guiding all beings toward awakening. As ancient water spirits, Nagas connect earth and sky, reminding us of the profound unity between humanity and nature. Their presence in Buddhist art carries a message of harmony, protection, and inner strength.
This example is finely cast, with each scale and curve rendered in exquisite detail. The aged patina, soft and luminous, gives the sculpture a sense of history and sacred energy—an aura that only time can confer. Mounted on a painted wooden base, the Naga stands as both a powerful spiritual emblem and a work of art of exceptional grace and character.
Traditional in form yet timeless in presence, this protective seven-headed Naga invites a sense of peace, reverence, and renewal—ideal for bringing harmony and sacred protection to any home, office, or meditation space.
