Over 800 years old, this rare Lopburi-period medallion depicts Narayana (Vishnu) in six-armed form, adorned in the regalia of an ancient king. Cast in lead and weathered by centuries, its surface bears deep red and orange corrosion interlaced with white lead deposits — a sacred patina formed through long entombment. Cracks and mineralization spread across the image like veins of time, a living testament to endurance, devotion, and divine protection.
Discovered at Wat Phra Sri Mahathat in Lopburi, this artifact embodies both the artistry and spiritual synthesis of the Khmer-influenced Lopburi kingdom. Despite the passage of centuries, every proportion remains beautifully intact, making it not only a collector’s treasure but also a vessel of contemplation and protective resonance.
