Hindu Queen Serpent Water Goddess of the Naga Statue in Heavy Brass

Hindu Goddess. Naga Kanya has the body of a serpent, the torso of a womban, she has bird wings, and hooded cobras presiding up above her crown with a shell embraced into her hands. The Serpent Mother of the primal all Water.
 
In Hindu mythology, Nagas are serpentine spirits who reside in the underworld, protecting and offering the teachings of the Mother Goddess. They are said to guard all esoteric and mystical teachings. And they offer protection and gifts to the seeker. She is also regarded as a Tantric goddess and protector of Dharma.
 
She sits approximately 9 inches tall and 6 inches across at widest points. she weighs 4lbs 15 oz.... she is very beautifully weighted and quality crafted. You might recognize her from my storefront, I had a wall statue of her behind my counter on the back altar wall.
