This imposing and artfully crafted sculpture depicts Phra Aphai Mani, the legendary prince and flute player of Thai folklore. Crafted from high-quality bronze, it boasts a sophisticated black and gold patina that underlines its elegant and mystical aura.

with impressive dimensions of 87 cm x 71 cm x 50 cm and a weight of 42 kg, this sculpture is an exceptional collector's item. Its masterful attention to detail expresses the grace and adventurous spirit of the mythical hero – from the elaborate design of his robes to the meticulous elaboration of his flute playing.
