An antique Khmer Bayon style brass Amitabha meditation Buddha from Cambodia. Seated on a three-tiered throne with the flaring seven heads of a giant Naga, the serpent King Muchalinda, rising behind protectively behind. His hands are in the Dhyana mudra, the gesture of Meditation.

The Buddha's face is serene, with a naturalistic and warm expression, his head is topped by a lotus bud ushnisha, in the Khmer, Bayon style. The lotus represents purity, compassion and the giving of great joy to all. 

Buddha Amitabha hands are held in a meditation Mudra. Fingers gently folded over the lap with palms facing upward, a symbol of gentleness and purity, his compassionate face bestowing peace, blessings and inner serenity on his devotees.

The serpent is rendered in some detail and symmetrical. The throne is formed by the coils of the serpent. The story told here being that Muchalinda protected the Buddha from heavy rain.

A Mandala also decorates the rear of the Naga, symbol of meditation and serenity.
