This Tibetan style bronze figure of the deity Garuda originates from the period around 1870. The cast sculpture is finished in gilt bronze with pigment highlights in red and gold across the flames behind the head. It shows Garuda standing upon a double-lotus base holding a serpent in its beak, with outstretched wings, a skull crown, and a protruding belly, while trampling a figure beneath its talons. The sculpture measures 29 cm high, 27 cm wide, and 9 cm deep. Placed on a bookshelf in a gentleman's library, the piece functions as an ornamental sculpture for display within an interior space. The bronze and gold coloration complements traditional study decor, while the detailed casting displays the mythical bird-like attributes associated with the subject in Buddhist and Hindu traditions.

FAQs

In Himalayan and Tibetan traditions, Garuda is a revered bird-like deity associated with protection, serving as a symbol of power over harmful forces and celestial energy.

Figures of this nature were predominantly created using the lost-wax casting technique, after which artisans applied hand-chiselled details, mercury gilding, and mineral pigments.

Authenticity is assessed by examining natural surface patination, wear on high points, the casting seam construction, residual core material within the base, and specific iconographic details.

Such sculptures function well as decorative focal points on a dark wood bookshelf, a mantelpiece, or an entryway console table paired with neutral textiles.

Dust the surface lightly with a dry, soft-bristled brush, avoiding water, chemical polishes, or abrasive cloths that could strip original gilded layers or painted details.
