These Naga Buddha statues are seen with the Naga's body coiled up to serve as a cushion for the Buddha with 7 pronged head providing a hood over the Buddhas Head  as a cover.
The Naga Buddha statues are considered to have originated from India but later, with the spread of Buddhism, the carving of such unique statues started to appear from many Southeast Asian nations, specifically Burma, where the Buddhist arts flourished under the patronage of many Burmese kings throughout the history of Burma.
Naga Buddha statues are considered one of the rarest Buddhist artifacts around the globe as these specific Buddha statues are not as common as the Shakyamuni Buddha statues.
Therefore, many Buddhist and antique art collectors around the world consider the Naga Buddha statues as the gems of their personal collections. Similarly, the Naga Buddha Statues are taken as a very important religious as well as spiritual object for many followers of Buddhism as it depicts the Buddha being protected by the Naga, representing the faithful protection of the awakened one by the king of serpents.
