Unlike a Buddha statue, a Nat does not represent enlightenment, but a protective presence that watches over the environment in which it is placed. This impressive hand-carved statue radiates precisely that function: protection, harmony, and spiritual power.\n\nWith its stately posture, friendly facial expression, and richly detailed court attire, this figure possesses a striking presence. The warm red and green colors are enhanced by hundreds of small mirrored glass details that subtly reflect the light. As a result, the statue constantly changes its appearance depending on the light entering the room.\n\nThe figure is executed in the traditional Mandalay style from Myanmar and bears the characteristics of a royal Deva or Nat temple guardian. The high crown, refined facial features, raised shoulder ornaments, and decorative glass mosaics allude to the rich artistic traditions of the former Burma.\n\nAt a height of no less than 86 cm, this statue forms an impressive object for a living room, entrance hall, meditation room, practice room, or collection of Asian art.
