Description from the seller

Beautiful and rare depiction of Garuda, the protective deity of the Buddhist and Hindu pantheon, portrayed with a fierce face, outstretched wings, and a serpent coiled around the body.

He tramples a human figure and a naga, symbolizing the victory of good over evil forces.



The base is sealed with the vajra symbol, a typical mark of consecration of authentic Buddhist sculptures.


Very beautiful antique patina, natural oxidation traces (verdigris), testifying to its age and authenticity.

Complete piece and of great aesthetic power.
