Four Face Buddha Head

A-621

Phra Phrom (Thai: พระพรหม; from Sanskrit: Brahma, ब्रह्म) is the Thai representation of the Hindu god Brahma (the god of the manifested world),[1] who is regarded in Thai culture as a deity of good fortune and protection. According to puranas, Brahma has four faces representing four Vedas or knowledge coming from four directions: north, south, east and west[2]. Phra Phrom is colloquially known outside Thailand as the Four-Faced Awakened One (四面佛, Sìmiànfó) or Four-Faced God (四面神 Simianshen) among Chinese folk religious worshippers, among whom the faith of this god has spread in the latest decades. 24″ tall x 20″ wide
