Background information: Phra Sangkachai (also known as Phra Mahacaccana) is a very beloved figure in the Buddhist pantheon, especially in Thailand and surroundings. He stands for luck, wealth, wisdom, and compassion. According to legend, he was originally so handsome that he attracted unwanted attention; to continue his spiritual path undisturbed, he transformed his appearance into a stout, generous figure. This monumental statue stands out especially because of the rare dragon crown at the base, which makes it a splendid collectible.
