This exquisite kneeling angel figure is a traditional Thai Teppanom Temple Guardian, symbolizing spiritual protection, grace, and serenity. Crafted from bronze or brass (confirmed not resin), the piece features an intricately applied 24k gold overlay across the headdress, arm cuffs, chest plate, and traditional Thai costume. The surface detailing is remarkably crisp, with careful attention given to the facial features, winged crown, and garment texture.
This statue measures approximately 8 inches tall, 3.5 inches wide, and 3.5 inches deep, and weighs 2 lbs 4 oz. It was acquired over 30 years ago from Asia by the father of a man whose estate it now comes from, suggesting it was already an older piece at the time. The material, technique, and wear are consistent with authentic antique temple-style guardians made for veneration or as symbolic décor in Thai homes and shrines.
Photos:
The images show the statue from all angles, highlighting the fine casting and layered 24k gold overlay. Close-ups emphasize the intricate texture of the robes, ornamental accessories, and serene facial features. The photos also show the slight age wear on the gilding, particularly around the edges and high-relief elements — confirming both age and authenticity.
