Wood
Garuda
CHINA, Tibet
This garuda is made of gilded wood. It has flaming hair, two horns, and three glaring eyes above a flat nose. The garuda holds up a snake, biting it in the middle. It has human limbs and hands, with claws for feet. Its wings are similar to those of a bat. Posed in a squatting position, the garuda’s upper body is decorated with ornaments, and below its large belly is a skirt.
