Spirit Statues

This category features statues associated with spiritual and folk traditions found in Southeast Asia, particularly within Thailand and neighboring regions. These figures are commonly encountered in regional belief systems that coexist alongside Buddhist practices and temple traditions.

Examples include figures such as Kumantong, a spirit figure traditionally connected with protection and guardianship, and Phra Ngan, a figure associated with regional folk belief and ritual traditions. Such statues appear in a variety of artistic forms and materials across Thai and Khmer cultural contexts.

While distinct from Buddha statues, monk statues, or divine figures, spirit statues form an important part of the broader spiritual landscape of Southeast Asian sacred art.
