‘Naga’ - She is the protecter of women and the revealer of transcendent truth (universal enlightenment is within her safeguard and it is she that will bring it forward to displace darkness). This is a most extraordinary statue created using the lost wax method of casting. Sculpted of solid copper and hand burnished w/18k gold. Decorated with tiny gemstones of garnets, rubies & emeralds. (note; there is some slight cracking on the back of her snake crown however it is structurally sound).
