They were framed by Art's Framing on Sukhumvit Road in Bangkok.. I purchased these in the late 1980's Chiang Mia near border of Laos.

Naga's are from Thailan are temple roof finials or in pairs at entrances to guard against evil spirits and natural disasters, the powerful, mystical naga are among the most revered Buddhist symbols. With its soaring curving form and large size, these particular naga sculptures are especially sculptural. It shows the emerging outline of the sinuous Thai cho-fa, a simplified, streamlined shape that evolved from the naga. To make the naga, a large, heavy piece of teak wood was carved in its curving shape, then fitted with shimmering colored tiles. Some of the tiles are missing. These sculptures are phenomenal and for a true collector, decorator or designer who appreciates and understands the importance and significance of these hard to find pieces. The sculptures would look great with any style of decor or design including traditional, antique, Chinese, Japanese, Asian, Mid-Century Modern, bohemian. It is safe to say they would be exceptional in other contemporary or modern settings and would make a room or space! They are definitely a conversation piece. Actual Naga measures
