All auctions / Asian Art / 19th C. Thai Teak Architectural Naga Crest w/ Inlays


Southeast Asia, Thailand, ca. 19th century CE. A hand-carved wooden architectural element that was once the flaming frontal crest of a Naga serpent which was likely atop a roof or guarding an entrance. The surfaces are incised into a grid pattern and painted with vibrant colors, and the obverse face bears evidence that it was at one time entirely inlaid with petite glass panels that would have reflected light in the sun. Size: 3" L x 11.75" W x 48.25" H (7.6 cm x 29.8 cm x 122.6 cm); 55" H (139.7 cm) on included custom stand. Item # 163748
