Buddha Protected by the Naga at The Guimet Museum Paris

Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of classical artistry with our exquisite replica of the “Buddha Protected by the Naga,” a mesmerizing piece inspired by the original sculpture housed at the Guimet Museum in Paris. This stunning representation captures the serene essence of the Buddha seated in deep meditation (samadhi), enveloped by the guardian naga Mucilinda.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, our sculpture showcases the Buddha’s tranquil expression, framed by the multiple heads of the naga that symbolize protection and enlightenment. The coiled body of the serpent cradles the meditative figure, creating a harmonious balance that reflects the teachings of peace and mindfulness.

The artistry reflects the hieratic style of the tenth century, typical of the renowned Angkor Wat tradition, marked by its abundant adornments and stylized features. The wide, square face of the Buddha, accentuated by sharply defined brows and a patterned mask, speaks to the masterful craftsmanship that defines this era.

This iconic image not only represents the spiritual significance of the Buddha but also embodies a crucial aspect of Cambodian heritage, where the naga is intrinsically linked to the origins of the Khmer kingdom. Our carefully painted resin sculpture, featuring a stunning marble and bronze effect patina, invites you to appreciate the beauty and depth of this classical masterpiece in your own space. Celebrate the legacy of an ancient civilization and bring a touch of serenity and sophistication to your decor with this timeless work of art.
