This cute little Buddha, protected by Naga, is made of bronze and about 3.5 cm high.

The working of the Buddha, protected by Naga:

The Naga is seen as a protective being who shields Buddha from the elements, such as sun and rain, while he meditates. This symbolizes the power of the Dharma (the Buddha's teachings) to protect against worldly disturbances.

Relief:

The Naga is also associated with Buddha's enlightenment. Legend has it that during his meditation, Buddha freed the Naga Karkotaka from his suffering. In gratitude, the Naga offered Buddha protection.

Overcoming Fears:

The presence of the Naga commemorates the Buddha's victory over the inner demons and fears he experienced during his quest for enlightenment.

Generally, the image of Buddha protected by the Naga represents the power of Buddhist teachings to protect against worldly difficulties, promote spiritual growth, and enlightenment. It is a common symbol in Buddhist art and is often found in temples and shrines.
