Description
This Thai style Rahu Deity is depicted in the classic celestial devouring posture, representing the absorption of negativity, reversal of misfortune, and protection against unseen influences. The composition reflects the symbolic intensity and ritual significance associated with Rahu in Thai spiritual tradition.
Distinctive elements — including the fierce guardian expression, ornate tiered crown, and the symbolic sphere held at the chest — reflect a sculptural language influenced by Khmer-inspired ornamentation within Thai craftsmanship. The bronze surface displays a natural gold-toned residues, giving the piece a mature, ritual-worn appearance.
The base features engraved Thai script alongside traditional motifs and animal carvings, reinforcing its cultural and ceremonial character. The underside reveals a sealed base containing a sacred yantra plate, a feature often associated with spiritually prepared or consecrated pieces.
With a height of 19 cm, it offers a compact yet grounded presence suitable for altar placement or collection display.
Dimensions: 21 × 16 × 19 cm (L × W × H)
