[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 7514431, member: 2844"]A charming Naga Buddha, from mainland Southeast Asia, possibly Thailand. The snake is a Naga called Mucalinda. Mucalinda sheltered Buddha from the rain as he sat and meditated under the Bodhi tree, where he found enlightenment. Those aren't fish/shark heads but stylised cobra heads. Mucalinda is often represented as having multiple heads, especially in Southeast Asian iconography.[/QUOTE]
