It is a power house piece. It will curl around your neck like the protector it is. Calming yin silver paired with a firey bronze snek. I probably say this alot but this IS an epic piece. This particular nāgá is very tactile. I added little drops of bronze all along its body which feel really nice if you run your finger along it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI was recently with my dad  and he has quite a few in his house. One from Thailand in particular is really interesting, as I always thought it was a flame but apparently it is actually a nāgá that coiled around Buddha seated in Padmasana.

Its metaphysical properties are rooted in its elemental makeup (copper, tin). Copper brings courage, vitality, and energy flow, while tin\/zinc contribute clarity and inner alignment. Together, they create a material that many spiritual traditions believe amplifies positive intentions, clears stagnant energy, and promotes emotional balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eIt is  also linked to Venus — the planet of love and creativity — and is said to balance the chakras and bring harmony to relationships. Known as Kansa in Eastern traditions, it is believed to strengthen Venusian energy when worn or used intentionally. Across spiritual and scriptural contexts, bronze also represents the refining fire: the idea that, like metal itself, we are tested, purified, and ultimately strengthened by the experiences we face, and like the snake we are always reborn stronger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rPeykc\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: 160 g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLength: 28.5 cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Smith \u0026 Sun","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56814594621820,"sku":null,"price":500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0259\/5645\/0375\/files\/DSC3446.jpg?v=1779905566","url":"https:\/\/www.smithandsun.co.uk\/products\/muchalinda-naga","provider":"Smith \u0026 Sun","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
