Four Faced Buddhist Statue

Four faced Buddha statue

I recently went to visit Wat Ao Noi to take some photographs for a feature on my blog The Temples of Thailand when I came across this Buddhist statue near the entrance to a shrine. My guess is that the statue represents a guardian of some sort since the head has four faces and is looking in all directions.

If anyone can be more precise please let me know.

    Hi Mike,
    Better to be four-faced than two-faced!
