# 4045 19th Century Thai Wood Naga Roof Finial Sculpture on Iron Stand 25" H

This 19th century Thai Naga (Dragon) Head wood carving is an exceptional example of the ornamental roof finials used in Northern Thai temple stairways. Crafted from a solid, heavy piece of teak wood, its curving form showcases its age and character. With its dimensions of 25" H by 14" W by 4" D, it is an impressive sight. Naga is a revered symbol in Southeast Asia, representing the king snake, ruler of the underworld waterways. Its Chinese equivalent is the dragon.
