Picture of the day: Guarding Time: Multi-Headed Naga at SOSORO Museum

This quiet multi-headed naga keeps watch over the entrance of the SOSORO Museum, where Cambodia’s economic story unfolds inside a restored colonial-era landmark near Wat Phnom.  Its flaring hoods and weathered stone recall the ancient Khmer belief in nagas as guardians of thresholds and protectors of prosperity. Here, the serpent of legend meets a museum of money, echoing how spiritual symbols still frame modern Cambodian history.
