Saturday Buddha — Pang Nak Prok (Naga Canopy) 8"

Saturday birthday Buddha in Thai custom: Pang Nak Prok (ปางนาคปรก). The Buddha sits in meditation; the naga coils as a seat and spreads a many-headed hood over him. That image comes from the story of the naga king Mucalinda sheltering the Buddha from a storm after enlightenment.

Listed as cast bronze (the URL still says brass). Finish is bright gold-tone. Listed height is 8" on the title—confirm on the piece.

Weekday images are custom. Saturday is linked with protection through hardship—belief, not a guarantee.

Altar, shelf, or gift for someone born on Saturday. Dust with a soft cloth.

Pickup available in Oxnard when in stock.
