A naga slithers through a dense forest of kanok flowers, its path delicately hand-carved by Jamras Thapinta. Teak lends its sumptuous grain to render this piece fascinating as each petal and leaf seems to subtly sway in unison with the serpent-like being. In Hindu mythology, nagas are divine serpents - half human and half snake - that live in underground palaces. They are worshipped as heralds of fertility, responsible for rain, but also disasters such as floods and droughts. A panel of intriguing delight for a deserving setting.
