Description
In Buddhist iconography the Naga is a multi-headed serpent.
Nagas, which have been present in Thai culture, traditions and rituals since ancient times, hail from Indian mythology and often represent water and abundance. The mythical creatures are believed to be protectors of Buddhism, and are often placed on staircase rails that lead to sacred Buddhist establishments.
It is painted by Batik on raw silk with a wax-patern by Anek, a Batik artesan from the Nakhon Phanom province in Thailand.
The size is 80x180 cm
It can be framed or hung as a tapestry.
There is a video about Anek on our Youtube channel:
