This 19th c. bronze figurine is cast in the form of Garuda, a demigod and mythical king of birds in Hindu and Buddhist faith. Taking the form of half-bird half man, Garuda is a powerful protector and ever-watchful enemy of the serpent. This Garuda was originally used as a weight to measure quantities of opium. It is depicted here with a beaked face and wings outstretched, polished to a high shine with gold color.

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
