Saturday Buddha – “Protected by the Naga King” – Pang Nak Prok Saturday Buddha is sitting in Samadhi (concentrative meditation) during the sixth week after His Enlightenment. The Naga King protected the meditating Buddha, by making a shelter with his multi-headed hood and lifted him above the floodwaters by coiling its body under him, keeping watch to protect him from the rainfalls and all sorts of parasitic, poisonous and preying animals and creatures. As the rains ceased to fall, the Naga King uncoiled and changed into a Human form and raised his hands in reverence to Buddha. Mått: 8,8x4cm Material: Mässing Ursprung: Indien
