Product description
Dimensions: H 24 × W 18.5 cm Weight: 800 grams Origin: Bali, Indonesia Material: Wood Dating: 20th century
A special hand-carved wooden sculpture from Bali with a richly detailed depiction of Garuda with a divine figure, probably Vishnu. Garuda is one of the most famous figures within the Hindu and Balinese sculptural tradition and is traditionally associated with strength, protection, and loyalty. Despite its compact size, the sculpture is remarkably detailed. The large openwork wings, individually carved feathers, powerful stance of Garuda, and the figure above collectively form a vivid three-dimensional composition.
Traditional Balinese woodcarving
The sculpture is entirely hand-carved. Especially from the sides and back, it is clearly visible how much work went into the openwork construction. The warm brown wood color and dark areas in the deeper recesses give the sculpture additional depth. Signs of use and age are present, consistent with an older decorative Balinese woodcarving. Please examine the photos carefully for condition and details.
Garuda and Vishnu
Within Hinduism, Garuda is the mythical mount of Vishnu. In Indonesia, and particularly in Bali, Garuda also holds significant cultural importance and is associated with protection, strength, and freedom.
