Vintage Vasuki Naga with Lingam

This vintage Vasuki Naga statuette from Maharashtra is a rare and evocative representation of the serpent deity deeply rooted in Hindu mythology. Crafted in brass, it depicts Vasuki in a coiled posture with his hood raised protectively over a sizable lingam nestled at the base formed by his coils. In Hindu tradition, Vasuki is revered as the king of serpents and a devoted guardian of Shiva—often depicted coiled around the Lord’s neck. The presence of the lingam reinforces this sacred association, making the piece not only visually striking but spiritually resonant.
