Buddha in Meditation under the Naga
Thailand, Rattanakosin Period, 18th–19th century
Wood
Height: 66 cm | Width (knee to knee): 8 inches

A serene image of the Buddha seated in meditation (dhyana mudra), sheltered by the multi-hooded Naga serpent, a powerful symbol of divine protection. Carved in wood during the Rattanakosin period, the figure reflects the refined craftsmanship and spiritual devotion characteristic of late Thai Buddhist art. The Buddha’s calm expression, balanced proportions, and flowing contours evoke both tranquility and strength, while the protective Naga emphasizes the enduring triumph of enlightenment over worldly challenges.
