Gilt-Bronze Garuda Figure Inlaid with Gemstones
This sculpture depicts Garuda, the powerful mythical bird and protector deity in Tibetan Buddhism. Rendered with a bird’s head, outstretched wings, and serpents held in its beak and hands, the figure symbolizes Garuda’s role in subduing nāgas and dispelling poisons. Cast in bronze with gilt finish and gemstone inlays, the sculpture reflects the refined Sino-Tibetan Buddhist aesthetic of the Ming–Qing period.
