Garuda, Enemy Of Serpents, 20th Century Painted Wood Indonesian Sculpture

The Garuda is a bird-like creature from Hindu mythology that is a mix of both eagle and human. He is the vehicle (vahana) of Vishnu and appears on this very important Hindu god’s banner. The Garuda represents birth and heaven, and is the enemy of all snakes. In Indian art, the Garuda gradually acquired a more human form over the centuries and over time maintained only his wings from his bird-like features.
One tip of the tail feathers has broken off, piece is included (see last photo).
