MYTHOLOGICAL BIRD GARUDA
MYTHOLOGICAL BIRD GARUDA
Item Details
Description
Wood, Indonesia, 1st half 20th cent.
Very expressively carved sculpture with fantastic effect. The style is of Gusti Mado Gedob around 1930. Garuda is the mythic eagle, a divine bird and Vishnu´s personal totem animal, known also (and worshipped) as the snake killer. Here the bird is portrayed as defensive, dramatically convincing in its artistic execution – sharp open beak, predator´s teeth, gesture of demon protection with two wide-spread fingers. Garuda has indeed a human body but powerful dangerous wings, tail feathers as well as a crown on his head. HEIGHT 62,3 CM
From the private collection of Robert W., acquired 1970´s – 1980´s
