About the Work:
 

The Naga, a giant serpent-like mythical creature, appears in Buddhism, Hinduism, and Southeast Asian mythology. In Thai tradition, nagas are often depicted with intricate, colourful scales and a majestic head, sometimes with multiple faces. They are revered as guardians of rivers and lakes, and their imagery graces temples, art, and architecture.

​
