Iconography & Analysis
This sculpture represents the mythical Garuda, a powerful protective figure from the Himalayas and Vajrayana tradition. The combination of bird head, human torso, and outstretched wings symbolizes speed, strength, and dominance over negative forces.
The Garuda is depicted above a submissive figure, a classic motif that symbolizes victory over obstacles and ignorance. The expressive facial expression, the multiple eyes, and the skull crown reinforce the tantric character of the object.
The execution shows traditional casting with decorative gilding and remnants of color pigment. This type of work was produced in the late 20th century within Nepalese and Tibetan workshops for ritual and decorative use.
